Deep Series 8: the accessible and inspiring medium scale
With the Deep Series 8, Ortega offers an acoustic bass designed for comfort and versatility. The medium scale format reduces string spacing and tension while maintaining a true body depth (115 mm) to project a warm low-midrange. The availability of a left-handed version demonstrates the brand's commitment to providing an instrument suited for all bassists.
For which musician and styles?
This 5-string acoustic bass is aimed at beginner to intermediate left-handed players, as well as experienced bassists seeking a reliable "unplugged" solution. Tuned to "B-E-A-D-G," it covers folk to acoustic pop/rock, as well as jazz, chanson, and intimate sets. The medium scale facilitates melodic lines and slides without sacrificing low-end foundation.
The sound
The spruce top delivers clarity and attack, while the sapele back and sides enhance the mids for a clear low register without muddiness. The 115 mm (4.52") body depth supports projection and sustain, while the 31.97" scale length softens the low B string tension, making playing more comfortable. The result is a balanced acoustic bass, easy to mix in both acoustic and amplified settings.
