\"Seye<\/p>\n

Gorillaz bassist Seye Adelekan<\/strong> recently teamed up with Baum Guitars to unveil the Thunder Bass. While the bass will be available as a model in their lineup, this week, we\u2019re featuring his custom pink axe. <\/p>\n

The bass was crafted in Baum\u2019s Danish Custom Shop in Aarhus, Denmark, with each component selected by Adelekan to fit his playing and personality. It\u2019s crafted from a one-piece mahogany body, one-piece maple neck, and rosewood fretboard with a 12\u201d radius. A lightning strike inlay at the 12th fret is doubled in shape by the uber cool lightning strike pickguard. <\/p>\n

Central to the bass\u2019s design is simplicity. It is fitted with a single Goldsound Thunder Jab pickup, which is custom wound by Sunbear Pickups for extra punch. <\/p>\n

\u201cSimple design. One pickup. And then it is more on the person who\u2019s playing the instrument to bring something to it,\u201d Adelekan says. \u201cIt can do anything, and that is what you get when you can make it really, really simple. It reflects the player. And I\u2019m really, really glad to say that the Thunder does that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other features include Schaller hardware, 22 frets, and a matching Wave headstock. <\/p>\n
