Okoume Body Offers Balanced Tone and Sustain The Glenn Hughes O bass features an okoume body for balanced tone with clear highs and tight low end. Okoume is known for its acoustic properties that prevent overtones and uneven sustain across the frequency range. This lightweight wood helps reduce fatigue over long gigs while providing the resonance you need. The okoume body works in harmony with the Seymour Duncan pickup to create an exceptional tonal foundation. Fat, Singing Tones With the Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Pickup At the heart of the Glenn Hughes Signature O bass is a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickup, voiced specifically for deep, singing bass tones. The wide aperture coils deliver strong output and reduced string pull. You'll get clear articulation even when playing furiously fast. The split-coil design captures the entire width of each string for huge tone. Dial in the perfect blend of lows, mids and treble with the master volume and tone controls. This exceptional bass pickup gives you that massive classic rock sound in spades. Deep Growl From the Split-Coil Pickup Placement For the iconic Orange bass growl, the SPB-1 pickup is positioned slightly closer to the neck. This gives you a dark, woody rumble reminiscent of vintage basses. Dig into the strings to unleash a deep, resonant roar. The unique pickup placement accentuates the neck and midrange frequencies, bringing vocals and leads to the forefront of the mix. It allows your bass to cut through loud and clear whether you're rocking a club or stadium. You'll love the throaty punch it adds to bass lines. Smooth Playability With a Comfortable Neck Profile This signature bass features a fast, comfortable neck that makes playing a breeze. It has a smooth C-shaped profile that fits nicely in your hand. The maple fingerboard has a modern 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets for fluid playing across the entire neck. There's also a smooth satin finish on the back of the neck that glides effortlessly under your fingers. Whether you're grooving on long funk numbers or racing through blistering rock solos, you'll appreciate how easily this bass neck handles. Play all night long with ease and precision.
