obase=16 does the job for me.

RTFM:

   VARIABLES
[...]
       There are four special variables, scale, ibase, obase, and
       last.  scale defines how some operations use digits  after
       the decimal point.  The default value of scale is 0. ibase
       and obase define the conversion base for input and  output
       numbers.   The  default  for both input and output is base
