Lars is KILLING it like always! Thanks for the awesome vid as always, Gregor!

[@h.b1035]

Love your vids btw

[@garyguillermo8322]

I guess it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online ?

[@juniorcastiel952]

@Gary Guillermo Meh lately i have been using flixportal. You can find it by googling=) -junior

[@garyguillermo8322]

@Junior Castiel thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!

[@juniorcastiel952]

@Gary Guillermo no problem =)

[@dougshow9736]

This bass is a great bass for recording. The tone is warm and sustained. Playing live has its issues but for recording, I am completely in love with the tone.

[@tomnealon1030]

What issues would this bass have playing live?

[@kevinhobbs6064]

@@tomnealon1030Long term comfort. Neck is wonky ahh, and in a live mix it’ll get lost often.

[@chickentwisties2298]

​@kevinhobbs6064 How about change the pickups?

[@kongandbasses8732]

I would like to hear it with flatwound strings. Like Fender Chromes.

Great review mate! Top stuff. Helped greatly, thanks a lot.

[@mst5g826]

The sound is great coming out of my old-skool cabinet speakers with paper twelves.

This can play ! He is my favourite review player.....fantastic !

[@terrygoss]

Great review as always, and Lars nailed it, as always. - Off topic, I've been watching "Dark", and really want to visit the areas that are supposed to be "Winden" (I've heard it's not shot there.) Is it worth it?.....

[@Viper-dz2kw]

The best version I’ve seen of this bass is an older version that was white with an orange pickguard, unfortunate that version isn’t available commercially

[@oscarsantos2608]

Yeah! An o bass was actually slapped! Finally some one finally slapped it! Thank you for the review!

[@aarondavis4341]

I've wanted one of these since they came out a few years ago,the orange finish and black finish looks cheap,I like the sunburst though

[@chrischilton8455]

Gorgeous 😍 tone!

[@mitchcutting]

Well yeah I watch on my phone, but with headphones. Sometimes even through my sound system.

[@danadrian2752]

That might be the only bass that I’d ever take the pickguard off of. Love the Rick-like headstock though.

[@matto9734]

Has there been a Medeski Martin & Wood camo for the first piece Lars played? ;-)

[@mrgskye]

Using my phone but good headphones and all is sounding good here 😉👌🏻

[@rome8180]

Seems pretty full and resonant. Not sure what the people who are saying it lacks "punch" mean. Do you want something more trebly?

Lars you rock!

[@rainermichaelcom]

i had one and sold it again. nice sound, but such a headdiver... it was no joy to play even with a proper strap.

[@juliankirby9880]

Put some heavy washers underneath the bottom strap button, or redrill the hole and put it in a new spot. Both those things can alleviate dive

[@MichaelUhler]

I saw those large tuning machines and instantly wondered about that. Sounds amazing in the video though!

[@NullTheCursed]

Damn...hopefully I'll save enough money one day and I'll buy a bass or in general an organ with strings 😋

[@henlofrens]

The only problem I see is that they use a bridge without spacing-adjustments and then the pole pieces of the pick-up dont seem to be aligned well with the strings.

[@neuralprobe]

To me it looks like the pickup is misaligned by about 3-4mm. The spacing looks correct as each string sits over the lower pole piece in a pair.

[@henlofrens]

@@neuralprobe Yes that is exactly my point. If you could micro-adjust the spacing however, you could compansate for those 3-4 mm

[@spikesvideos]

great video!! hows the neck weight?? Dive??

[@basstheworldofficial]

Yes, a bit

[@davidames9339]

Friggin' Lars... I am about ready to snap the necks of my basses. It's the little things! $#@#$&&$## Lars is my hero.

Yes, a bit

[@KlevonOfJesup]

That's Andy Fraser of Free playing "Alright Now"

[@oddeotek6242]

@@KlevonOfJesup The cool part is that he is playing it pretty much the right way, pedaling the open A between those high notes - most people don't catch that and they lose all the bottom during the solo.

[@keithjackson4990]

I’m trying to get one. According to Orange I may not see mine’s until April 2021! WTF? Totally not happy about it... 🤬🤬🤬

[@virgilscott120]

Every bass is a slap bass if you believe it hard enough.

[@jordanmayer5932]

Think they do good for doom metal? The amount of low end growl has me interested

[@Hellspwn6]

That's what Iike playing the most and I think it goes great with doom. I changed out the bridge for a hipshot kickass highmass brass bridge though. Gave it just a little bit of dark that I like in my tone.

[@bogfish9664]

That's exactly why I'm here checking it out. Wanna record some doom stuff I think this weapon is a fine platform. Imagine what a quarter pounder pickup would do for it!

[@chitarrabasso6283]

Woolly!

[@TheCrusader1099]

I tested it out couple month ago...nehh...not for me, sounded very thin, no punch and overall quality was not was i expected...better to go with a good squier instead or sire v bass....

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

I own a sire. Def agree with you there

[@h.b1035]

I agree I have a squire vm jazz bass

[@iliasliakos6692]

does it neck dive?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Of course

[@gregtambo]

Is that a Joe Dart bobblehead??

[@MrUltracoin]

2:00 the pickups are misaligned with the strings. The string is supposed to be between the 2 pickup poles. Very sloppy and noob design error.

[@AleksP1987]

The price is pretty high for this kind of bass, for this money you can buy, for instance, Cort Arona which is a great and serious instrument ! IMHO The more reasonable price for O bass should be 150-200 $.

[@peinmilan]

Why did Orange do that on such a saturated market? I don't see the point buying (and actually selling) this...

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

They've been doing it for a few years

[@peinmilan]

@@bacicinvatteneaca I know and I did not understand few years ago either.

[@Terrible_Peril]

The market is saturated due to demand. I’m sure the metrics back up their decision. Basses in this price range draw a LOT of consumers. Sometimes I go out and find a bass like this that piques my interest and I end up taking it home. It’s like a candy bar in a checkout line. Impulse buying.

[@Michael_______]

You're the most beautiful out of the bunch

[@basstheworldofficial]

Thanks 😉😘

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

Head looks like a Warwick, body binding like a les paul , hardware like a fender and sound like a hofner. Looks wise it's cool. Sound. Not so much

[@gruu]

with that small of a body it probably has a pretty bad neck drop, the clarity is bad to non existent, sounds like he is playing in another room. Cable Input is too far into the body aswell, will not be checking this out. Sorry for being a bummer but I just expected more from Orange

[@truthfilterforyoutube8218]

Needs a " J " , Pickup in it. Possibly it's because of the Shitty tone rolled off preference you used constantly.
