Story
Seye Adelekan is a best known as the bassist in Damon Albarn's chart busting, globe-trotting project Gorillaz. When you see the band perform, there's no mistake - they're an incredible live band, and Seye's contribution both musically and visually - he hardly ever stands still! - is unquestionable.
For years, Seye has been favouring a few Eastwood models for his live gigs including the Airline Map Bass and the Classic 4. So, naturally, when Seye approached us about needing a five-string bass, we thought let's make it a signature custom model!
Introducing the Classic 5 Seye Signature - a five-string hollow-body bass specced for Seye's standards on the road, and in the studio.
Carrying over from the Classic 4 (the bedrock upon which this five-string version is based), the Seye Signature maintains most of the same key features and specs. New to the model is the matte black finish and gold hardware, along with a pair of Custom Rail pickups, which help compliment this short scale's natural blooming, warm, and articulate tone.
