The Orange Glenn Hughes Signature O-Bass is presented in a striking Purple finish, with special Chequerboard Purfling to the body and headstock. Orange's acclaimed bass guitar has received rave reviews, but the Glenn Hughes model takes it up a level! The upgraded Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickup produces the smooth tone of the late 50s P Bass, while the Chequerboard Purfling adds a classic aesthetic. It comes with a padded gig bag as standard, and even has a 3-ply black pickguard to swap in should you fancy a change in look.

Following from the success of the Glenn Hughes Signature Edition Crush bass 50 combo, the Glenn Hughes O Bass come in the same Purple finish, with an upgraded Seymour Duncan pickup and Chequerboard Purfling to the body and headstock.
As with the standard O Bass, you get the classic single cutaway body shape and the split-coil pickup positioned slightly more neckwards than most other basses, all the better for producing that deep, warm growl. The diverse options for tone are still in place, too: players with a softer touch can be transported to Motown territory, with earthy RnB overtones in abundance, but dig in a little deeper and the O Bass responds with an infectious harmonic grind that recalls the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. Alternatively, roll back the tone knob and revel in clouds of mellow dub and laid-back reggae.
A body made from west African okoumé wood and a fretboard made from super-durable purpleheart balances the instrument to perfection whether it’s played stood up or seated, and with the fretwork and neck moulding retooled with playability in mind, jumping around the neck and funky octave swoops have never felt more natural.
