    I'm wondering if any of you have suggestions for strings to get a Geezer Butler-ish tone. IE: Bouncy mids...check out Fairies Wear Boots by Black Sabbath to hear what I'm talking about.

    I believe Geezer used Rotosound Strings during early Sabbath era.
    PS: Give my regards to Sonoma County, I just moved to Illinois after 15 years in Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa.

    Go with Rotosounds anyways, I got a set of swings on my bass and I love them. They are very versitile in my opinion. I can get a good Sabbath sound when I want to out of them, try screwing with your eq too.

    In addition to using a certain string, I would suggest plucking near the neck as geezer does to emphasize his p bass tone.
