A Signature Designed for Massive and Articulated Playing
This signature bass pays tribute to Geezer Butler's approach: a sound that fills the space, with solid fundamentals and a clear attack in a dense mix. The pair of signature EMG pickups aims to capture the soul of the classic "P" sound while adding, through the J format bridge pickup, a dose of definition and presence to cut through saturated guitars and powerful drums.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced bassists who want a bass that is immediately effective in rehearsal and on stage, with stable setup and a sharp attack. It excels in heavy rock, doom, stoner, metal, but remains very credible in funk-rock or punchy pop whenever a firm low end and precise articulation are sought. The long 34" / 864 mm scale length ensures tension and definition, especially appreciated in lower tunings.
Sound Characteristics
The ash body provides a dynamic response, with tight lows and clear highs, while the maple neck enhances attack and stability. The ebony fingerboard adds a fast feel under the fingers and extra precision, ideal for pick riffs as well as more nuanced lines. On the electronics side, the Split Coil pickup delivers the typical punch and roundness, while the J Pickup at the bridge emphasizes sharpness and definition. Simple Volume and tone controls invite a straightforward approach: a full, controllable, and immediately usable sound.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The bass is shipped strung with D'Addario EXL170 strings in gauge .045-.100: you can keep this gauge to maintain the original balance of tension and feel. For transport, prefer a case or gig bag sized for a bass with a 34" / 864 mm scale length (check the exact internal dimensions of the case before purchase).
