He's my favorite metal bassist. Its crazy how he plays rhythm guitar bass plus small fills and he gets away with murder. I actually like how he's not trying to shred at all like some. I could listen to him all day just playing the way he always did

I really dont think geezer gets enough praise or recognition for his raw talent and his skill in bass line creation or his lyrical genius that is so evident in so many sabbath songs.

LOVE that album !

Best P pickup I ever used, bar none.

If only every advert was as entertaining.

Recently got the Geezer EMG's on my P-Bass and they sound AWESOME! I was expecting more high end, but I wasn't prepared for how heavy my low end got. And I play lots of music besides hard rock/metal, so they are very versatile as well. Highly recommended! Geezer is one of my main inspirations on the four string! Cheers

Don't forget people, Geezer write most of Sabbath's lyrics too.

Weird seeing Geezer playing near the bridge

Almost nobody, including Geezer himself, can replicate that early 70's bohemian-wobble bass tone. That Lakland bass (above video) sounds like deep piano clinks.

@AdenJama

Yeah, I agree that the sound has changed massively. The new sound is probably an amalgam of a lot of different factors. Strings, pickups, amplifiers, volume, compression, loudspeakers, mixers etc. but also the way music is recorded nowadays.

Still, it's a very heavy and powerful sound, but I agree... That wubble sound from late 60's and early 70's is kinda hard to get now. I have the GZR PJ pickups and they sound awesome!!! Let me tell you... They get pretty close actually to an old Fender sound, but they sound a bit modern also. It's a nice combination.

Usually to get such sounds you need that (i assume) 100 watt Laney with the right cab and it has to be at 100% volume so no fools is gonna achieve that without some serious cash or proper studio and the Laney is gonna burnup up its tubes which are going extinct atm cos russia started a war

Geezer and Burke Shelley are my two favorite bass players. I could listen all day....

That bass tech dont know how lucky he is,he gets to play with ALL of Geezers equipment,one,if not thee most iconic metal bassists,in metal history,dude gets to jam his basses whenever he wants

I love Geezer Butler! Saw both farewell shows in Detroit and he and Tony put on a master class for us fans. Huge influence on me with the box scales and right hand groove.

I just love hearing him talking about the bass he knows his instrument back to front and listening to him and other great bass players never gets stale

I was at that Dimebash 2011 show in Hollywood at The Key Club! Great show!

Have 1972 fender P. G was always my favorite bass player!

Geezer Butler is fucking amazing! He played with a broken finger in the 80's what a bass player! ;D

Very humble person....same Geezer from.the early days....hasn't gone to his head...amazing that only now he has a signature bass...and 13 was a cool sounding album...I bought the BlackSabbath The End DVD really emotional gig ...there's some extra footage on that disc of all the band playing in a room ....and they play Sweetleaf. ...I must of watched them playing that 20 times in a row ...f@# awesome sounding....just one gripe....the mighty Bill Ward wasn't there.....oh well can't have it all....

Nice one Geez!

Geezer Butler & EMG PICKUPS Perfect!

very inspirational i like his style

Listening to Geezer play reminds me so much of myself: I play and sound just like him. Thanks Geezer! 30 odd years ago I said I wanna do that.

I’m excited learning I play mostly same gear as Geezer🤟🏽🙏🏽

I had active EMGs in a Vester bass a long time ago. Used a 600W Hartke head with an Ampeg cab 1x24, 2x8, and a horn on top. Sounded absolutely amazing. You could make such a deep wholesome bottom that it just made everything in the band sound better.

Wow what a sound. He sounded like he used a pick, but actually he doesn't.

Great Bass Player..... One of the many guys from that time period that influenced me to play. Don't have a Lakland, but do have two Sadowsky's, Fender Jazz and P bass, and one of Leo's first G&L basses.

This past spring I bought a 1985 Epiphone, P style bass guitar, for 65 bucks. The electronics were shot, but the rest of it was fine. The maple fretboard on top of a maple neck and the yellowing "Olympic" white P body is as classic Fender as it gets without buying a Fender. So only one thing to do to make this bass playable, replace the electronics and that's where EMG comes in. I bought the EMG GZR "P" set. It actually took longer to get the pickguard off and back on than it did to install the pups. After that was done I installed a set of flats, did a full set up, truss, action, and intonation, and it was off to the races. For a classic rock and roll sound from the 60s and 70s this thing nails it. I currently own 6 basses and this one with the EMG pups is the fav among my musician friends as far as sound goes of all the basses I currently own. It's also the bass that I have the least amount of money in, go figure. I just bought a Jaguar bass yesterday, P/J set up, and the electronics are shot. I know what pups are going to be going in that one soon. Thanks EMG for a great product!

Man, Geezer's tech is like the apprentice that follows the master wherever he goes, but also giving advice to the master.
