Mar 8, 2019 · I have an outlier possibility I want to mention. It may also help to go onto the EMG website and grab the Geezer instructions there. They didn’t send the right stuff in the package in the last Geezer set I bought. I ordered just a plain old P pick up set (no J) and the the wrong wiring harness and incorrect instructions were in the box.

Jul 9, 2008 · I'm trying to obtain a Geezer Butler tone (Paranoid Album), and I know he played a '69 P bass for that album, with high action and he played over the neck. Set aside from the '69 P bass, I've done everything, I can't seem to get the tone. (I'm trying to get with the Squier P bass w/ Bassline QP's (which might be my problem )).

Oct 2, 2007 · Much like Jack Cassady, Geezer Butler's tone comes from his right hand. A P-Bass and similar right hand technique will get you that tone, especially through something like an SVT. 1954bassman

Jan 4, 2012 · The Geezer is more open sounding, exceptionally well defined and articulate, a bit richer sounding, the Model P is more compressed sounding, punchier, fuller, and overall a bit darker, sounding. The Geezer has a slight emphasizing on the upper mids, the Model P has an emphasis of the lower mids.

Feb 2, 2023 · I don't know all that much about Geezer Butler but know at least he used a P bass with Laney tube heads and I do hear some overdrive on that album, most likely from the head being overdriven. Jack used 100 watt Marshall amps from 1966 until probably the late 70's and pushed them and yes both of those guys wrenched the sound out of their basses ...

Aug 22, 2004 · Hi, I have a Geezer Butler pup in my pbass. The GB pup’s cover isn’t removable. Although (color me shallow) I like the sound it gives me, I’m looking for a pup that is comparable in sound, but that has removable covers so I can put my white covers on. The bass is pearl white with a pearl red guard and a white grab bar.

Jan 1, 2020 · Friends, these EMG Geezer Butler pickups are really amazing sounding pickups. I am using the PJ set in a Squier Affinity P bass with an alder body that I supermodded. I almost installed Seymour Duncan quarter pounders but went with the EMG pickups. Why? It was a matter of tone and ease of installation. EMG uses a solderless installation design.

Apr 6, 2023 · i put the geezer butler split-coil in a friend's fretless PJ and it was the bomb --- really brought the PJ to life, IMO. i have a P-bass with the dimarzio DP127, and it's the only reason i like P-basses!*

Feb 21, 2006 · I recently decided to plunge back into the world of wah, picking up Geezer Butler's signature Cry Baby: the Dunlop GZR-95. I'm glad I did. It seems to solve a lot of the problems I personally encounter with bass wah pedals: Sounds Great Before Distortion - Most bass wah pedals I've used just don't sound that great in front of distortion. They ...

May 2, 2006 · Geezer used the ´69 P-bass, slightly distorted Laney tube amps and roundwound strings. (Between the live takes on the Sabbath in Paris video Geezer can be seen noodling around on his bass unplugged. It sounds like he has a set of roundwounds on.
