Unleash the War Pigs with This Skyline Signature
As the reigning Iron Man of metal bassists, Geezer Butler’s thundering bass lines and sinister grooves provided the low-end foundation for countless Black Sabbath classics. Bassists craving a gnarly tribute to his iconic sound will find their match in the Lakland Geezer Butler Signature Skyline bass guitar. From its imposing appearance to the Geezer EMG J- and P-style pickups nested in the body, this bass is ready to dole out impressive sonics. It starts with an ash body, maple neck, and smooth ebony fingerboard to provide the perfect base for hard rock, metallic decadence, and more. The Skyline series from Lakland has long provided accessible quality to players, and the Geezer Butler Signature proves that’s still Lakland’s M.O. Don’t sabotage your sound — try a Geezer Butler Signature Skyline right here at Sweetwater!
Signature bass of a metal legend
This Lakland Skyline is primed to perform, whether you’re a die-hard Sabbath junkie or a fan of metal and hard rock in general. A bolt-on maple neck ensures maximum stability throughout this bass’s life, and the comfortable “U”-shaped maple neck frees you to unleash some face-melting grooves with speed and agility. Not to mention, an ebony fingerboard with a 10-inch radius assists in this area too. Meanwhile, Hipshot Ultralite tuners and a Lakland Dual Access tailpiece keep intonation rock solid. Up at the headstock, there’s a Geezer Butler signature — just in case you forget whose signature bass is pumping out that impressive power.
Packed with Geezer Butler-endorsed EMG pickups
These EMG passive pickups have blown Geezer Butler away by his own admission — we know there’s no better endorsement, but we’re going to tell you more about them anyway! To start, they pack together the sonic capabilities of two of the ’70s favorite pickups: namely, a P-style and a J-style. The P-style leverages Alnico V magnets to deliver fat bass sound, while the J-style turns up the power with Alnico V poles plus two custom-wound split-coils. You’ll feel well armored to tackle ‘70s-era Black Sabbath standards and beyond with these dark horses at your side.
