Straight from the Black Country, the Orange Glenn Hughes Purple O is as versatile and hard-rocking as its namesake. This electric bass guitar's okoume body gives it an articulate acoustic tone with a delightfully tight low-end response. Its Seymour Duncan SPB-1 P-style split-coil pickup bolsters its articulation even more while also yielding an authoritative thump that's guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. You'll value the relaxed playability of the Purple O's comfortable maple neck, which is capped by a slick-feeling purpleheart fingerboard. As for looks, it's impossible to deny this bass guitar's head-turning chequerboard binding, gleaming hardware, and light-catching gloss finish. Glenn Hughes is one of rock's most acclaimed bassists, and his signature Purple O electric bass befits a musician of his unequaled pedigree.

Built to rock hard
Few bassists rock as hard as Glen Hughes, and his signature Purple O is one of the few electric bass guitars that can keep up with him. Built around a solid okoume body, this instrument yields an articulate acoustic tone with tight low-end response — and that's before you even plug it in! The Purple O's bolt-on maple neck offers incredible playing comfort that's well-matched by a fast-action purpleheart fingerboard.

Vintage-tinged P-style tones
The Orange Glenn Hughes Purple O comes equipped with a passive Seymour Duncan SPB-1 split-coil pickup. This P-style pickup showcases hand-ground Alnico V magnets and vintage-correct coil windings, outfitting you with a bold, smooth tone with incredible note articulation and an authoritative, chest-pounding thump. Players who dig late-'50s split-coil tones will absolutely swoon over the Purple O's Duncan SPB-1 split-coil pickup.
