Geezer Butler

#22
What got me to music was hearing "The Wizard" but at the time it was a remake Ozzy Osbourne did.. They my father told me about Black Sabbath... Got the Paranoid album and fell in love. Then when I got teh first album and I heard "The Wizard" it hit me like a brick wall. I was born to listen to Sabbath. I am still on my quest to pay every Sabbath CD and G//Z/R CD (Geezer's band after Sabbath. Check it out. PLastic PLanet features Burton C. Bell on vocals.) So now I am getting the Ampeg SVT-CL Classic Bass Head and Ampeg 8x10 cause I heard that can get a good Geezer tone. One thing that sucks is I sometimes have trouble hearing the bass in the songs. That is my weakest point in my bass playing abilities. My ear.

Geezer is the reason I started to play Bass. His sound is like a Bass sound on the edge about to fall over. All Sabbath albums should be bought and digested, someone said they didn't like Technical Ecstasy listen to the bass lines ! All moving parts stand still, Dirty Women, Gypsy. Each song on every Sabbath album has a great Bass line. BUT... I wouldn't want to buy gear just to emulate Geezer's sound..think I'd want to find my own.. :)
