Dorothy HB Features:

Spanish Cedar Semi-Hollow Body with Bookmatched Eastern White Pine Top
Spanish cedar is nice and light with a clear, resonant, and balanced tone. It has been likened to the mahogany from old growth trees used in electric guitars back in the 50s when it was still widely available. The bookmatched eastern white pine top adds some midrange punch to the mix.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Hades Roasted Maple Neck with Wenge Fretboard
Our new 2+2 headstock design features our O* logo inlaid in mother of pearl acrylic. The super dark roasted maple has been finished with a oil/poly/beeswax blend that feels amazing. The wenge fretboard adds a nice high end sparkle to your tone, similar to ebony.

Nordstrand Passive Pickup and Electronics
The pickup is a Nordstrand 51PNS, split-coil, humcancelling, 51 P pickup with AlNiCo III magnets. The A3 magnets give it a warm, vintagey (yes, that's a word) kind of tone. The electronics feature a traditional volume/tone passive set of controls.

Leo Quan Badass Bridge and Tuners
The Badass Bass III bridge has long been a favorite looking to improve sustain. The OGT Mini tuners help add to that with their solid brass posts.

DR Legend Flatwound Strings
DR Strings are a favorite among many pro musicians. These flats give you that vintage, old school tone, and the best part is you probably won’t ever have to change them.

Gator Hardshell Case
A traditional, plush-lined wooden case to protect your investment.

Light Weight
The understatement of the year. The bass weighs in at only 5.8 lbs.
