Deep Series 7: the medium scale accessible to left-handers
Designed to offer a comfortable alternative to long scale lengths, Ortega's "Deep Series 7" features a medium scale format that reduces string tension without sacrificing bass clarity. This left-handed model reflects the brand's commitment to providing instruments suitable for everyone, with reliable craftsmanship and excellent value for tone quality.
Who is it for and what styles?
Ideal for beginner to intermediate left-handed bassists, this electro-acoustic bass is suited for unplugged sessions, pop, folk, singer-songwriter, soft jazz, and acoustic arrangements. Its shorter scale length facilitates melodic runs and fingerstyle lines while remaining precise enough to accompany vocals and guitar.
Sound characteristics
The spruce top delivers a clear attack and good note definition, while the sapele back and sides enhance woody midrange and warmth of tone. The 115 mm deep body promotes natural projection and generous sustain. The 31.97" scale length softens tension for round, singing lows, very pleasant for fingerstyle playing. The walnut fingerboard and bridge contribute to precise articulation. Plugged in, the Magus Pro/B-RC electronics preserve the acoustic character while providing a stable level reserve thanks to its rechargeable system.
Recommended compatible accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, choose the ORTEGA ABP-4 string set (4 strings for ORTEGA acoustic bass), perfectly suited for this model.
