Orange · BASS GUITARS
Construction, tone and playing options
Orange O Bass Glenn Hughes Signature Purple is a 4-string bass. The pickup system is Seymour Duncan SPB-1.
Four strings in familiar E–A–D–G tuning provide a straightforward foundation for many bass parts. The layout is well suited to working on pulse, position changes and the relationship with the kick drum. Fingerstyle, a pick and changes in picking position produce different attacks without requiring a change of settings.

Construction and playing feel
Adjust the strap so the bass sits at a similar height when standing and sitting. Check that the lower positions are reachable without excessive wrist bending. A comfortable posture makes sustained practice easier and helps maintain control of note length.
Sound and controls
A split-coil pickup provides a straightforward starting point for shaping your sound. Volume matches the instrument level to the amplifier, while the tone control softens the upper frequencies. This simple approach keeps attention on timing and touch, with fewer settings to manage between rehearsal and performance. The passive audio circuit does not need battery power to produce the instrument signal.
In practice
With a passive signal path, the instrument controls, picking position and touch shape the result. Record a short phrase with the tone open and rolled back to compare attacks. For direct recording, use an instrument input with suitable input impedance.
Specifications
Accessories for this bass
Choose accessories to fit the instrument’s construction. Linked accessories are sold separately unless listed as included.
Bass guitar strings
Choose a 4-string set. Check gauge and winding length up to the tuners. A long-scale label alone does not guarantee compatibility with every bridge.
Gig bags / hard cases
Check the instrument’s full length, body width and neck support.
Bass straps
Choose a comfortable width and adjustment range. Check that both strap ends sit securely on the buttons before playing standing up.
Instrument cables
For a conventional bass-amp connection, choose a shielded 6.35 mm TS-to-TS instrument cable. Short patch cables are primarily intended for connections between pedals.
Tuners
Choose a chromatic tuner that tracks low bass notes reliably. A pedal tuner suits a plugged-in setup; a clip-on is convenient for quick tuning.
Stands and hangers
Check the body supports and finish-safe contact surfaces. The stand should hold this instrument’s particular shape securely.
Instrument care
Use a soft cloth after playing. Choose body and fingerboard products for the actual material and finish; an all-purpose polish is not suitable for every surface.
Bass combo amps / audio interfaces
For rehearsals, choose bass amplification with enough output for the band. For home recording, look for an interface with a Hi-Z instrument input and headphone monitoring.
