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.

Video Review
Amazing how light it is but also how epic it sounds. It’s not as intimidating as other 5 strings! It’s got 4 string energy.
