    Geezer Butler signature pick ups

    Yes! I installed a Geezer P&J set in my ‘83 P that came to me with a J pup added and the P&J pups wired together with the single tone and volume pots. I obviously wanted separate volume controls but didn’t want to add a third pot in the pick guard somewhere so I added a stacked pot where the...

    GHS Brite Flats

    I put a set on my Tiesco Del Ray in the early 80’s when I first started and have a set on my 2003 J bass at present. After awhile they sound and feel like ....flats!

    Show us your White Precision Basses.

    1983 Fullerton AVRI re issue. Came to me with J route and replacement Pups. I put a set of Geezer EMG’s in and consider it done. It’s not exactly white anymore though.

    Geezer Butler signature pick ups

    I installed a set of Geezer PJ’s on my P bass that came to me modified with a J pick up that was wired straight in with no separate volume pot. I replaced the tone pot with a stacked pot to keep pick guard and input jack original. So to install the Geezers I used the solderless p pup volume pot...

    Winter NAMM 2018 (ultra Pic-heavy)

    Damn, that’s a boat load of basses! Where do all these beauties (and not so beautiful) end up? Hats off to the builders and dreamers though. Best of luck!

    Baby Bass like sound

    Baby basses I’ve heard live or in recordings never sounded boomy to me. They have more of a tight percussive thud IMO.

    Is anybody playing GENZ BENZ ?

    I bought the same amp new way back when. It sounded good but crapped out on me a couple of times. I didn’t push it hard or gig with it all that often. My dealer said maybe I just got a lemon. I gave it to a young friend in need of a rig. It crapped out on him but he got it repaired and he’s...

    Geezer Butler signature pick ups

    I need help with a Geezer wiring problem. I installed a set of Geezer PJ’s in my Fullerton 62avri that came to me with the J pu added. The previous owner wired both pick ups to the single volume and tone pots. I installed a stacked pot in the tone position before I got the Geezers. I use the...

    Any idea what's up with Ed Friedland?

    I finally saw the Mavericks at Knuckleheads in KC last summer and it is my new gold standard for what a great band can accomplish live. Raul Malo is a national treasure! Ed’s upright sounded awesome and he breaks down his creative problem solving sound strategy in his latest BP column. Love...
