    I don’t have a Squier, but the Geezer in the title of this video got my attention because I installed a Geezer Pickup into my Fender Player P, and I installed LaBella Low Tension Flats along with it. It’s massive sounding now, yet very vintage.

    With the tone set to zero, that is exactly what I have been looking for in terms of sonic texture from a bass. I'd stayed away from the Butler pickups thinking they would be too hot but boy was I wrong. Flat wounds to the moon and back!

    I prefer FLATS on a P! Although Flats on a jazz or MM also sound great. If you have the cash, just get two Ps', one with rounds, and one with flats. Great content!

    I built a couple of basses loaded w/p bass pups.The Geezer is very nice.On the other I took advice from the Guns and Guitars site and bought Ps from Epic Customs Shop.He winds them by hand and they're half the price of the EMG.My new favorite now and I'd not hesitate using them again.

      I've got a couple p bass pickups from Q pickups in Croatia. He winds quarter pounders, 62 vintage and 70;s vintage pickups. Great winder and his prices and build time is sweet. He can wind to your specs regarding magnet choice and winding wire.

    Although the GZR is Geezer Butler’s signature pickup, they are just a copy of a nice 1960. Alnico V, and 11 Kohm wind, which is slightly hotter than most p pickups from the era. So they are perfectly fine for mo-townish flat sounds. BTW, Geezer played flats on the early Sabbath albums.

  • @paulclemas513
    @paulclemas513 3 роки тому +5

    I have those pups in my Squier CV too and they are superb. I get a lot of complimentary comments on the sound but I use wounds for that growl that I want. The passive GZRs are a great upgrade for a low/mid price bass.

    The LaBella deep talkin flats are a bit pricey, but they have such a great smooth feel. I have them on two basses here. They have been on for almost two years, and there they will stay. I did put roto sound flats on a repair that i did, and they are much rougher to the touch. I just purchased a classic vibe 60s precision. My mods will be a cover for the bridge, a cover for the pickup, fender pure vintage '63 p bass pickup, a thumb rest, CTS 250k pots, and a switchcraft jack.

    DANG, I thought I was a cultured OG, but alas, I've only been here since the Harley Benton PB-50 demo (I think). Anyways, the tone, THE TONE!!! I just have to say wow, I'm not usually a flats person, but those strings sung like a choir with the EMGs. The fingerstyle bit without the sponge really sounded like the first Sabbath album to me; huge attack, with not a lot of sustain. What a crushing sound, I had no idea it could sound that good.

    If my memory serves me well , back in the day some Fender basses had a bridge cover with some foam to mute the strings in it. But this was a long time ago. Maybe revisit the Fender Original pickups - I would be surprised if you didn't find the warmth in the sound you're looking for. I prefer the sound without the foam but thats just me.

    • @JonnyDibble
      @JonnyDibble  3 роки тому

      Hi! It's all in the specs really. So the 70s has that maple fretboard, different woods (I think) and pickuos that are voiced a bit differently. To my ear the 70s has more of a treble and slightly less warmth to the low end. This may purely be down to the maple neck? I've not played the 70s personally though

    Yeeey... Finally Jonny with flats!!! Nice! Although the pickups do sound a bit thin for this style.
    I have a J. Bought it before knowing anything about bass. I got a set of Labella flats and loved them with the neck pickup for a "p sound" and the bridge for poppy funk ( Joe Dart) but in less than a year on of the strings broke, so I put back the old rounds. Labellas do come expensive, so maybe I'll check out Rotosound too. In the meantime I'll keep an open eye for a deal on a P bass!

    You do realise the Geezer pickup is based on an early 60's vintage pickup ?? Also that bass needs a set up...the strings sound like they are choking a bit to me (before the foam) . I would check the neck relief and the string action.....sounds too low to me.

    Nice video Jonny! Cashew nuts 4 Life 🤣
    P with flats is a solid tone, but my experience is that I really struggle to encounter a musical situation where that tone is all I need.
    Flats for me work best in vintage style basses with two pickups. I played an Ibanez Atk800 with flats for three years and I had no complaints whatsoever with its sound and all the bands I played in were happy.
    Your Epi Embassy is asking for flats, thats all I'm sayin 🤣

    • @JonnyDibble

      It's a classic. But yeah, the majority of my basses will remain having rounds, suits my playing and writing style way more 😊 I do miss that Embassy sometimes tbh. That's exactly my thoughts though, hence why I think I'm going to put some on my HH Gretsch 😁 Cheers!

      First bass i learned on was an old p bass my uncle gave me. I've played a bunch of different basses since for slap and growl but i have come back to that deep fundamental tone that moves the soul . listen to some pb players from the past and present. It will grow on you. Great sound with a pick to.

    I don't prefer one or the other, both string types have their roles to play. I have a Yamaha BB with PJ pickups and rounds and a Squier P with flats, so I have all the Precision bass tones covered. I use D'Addario Chromes flatwounds which sound great and aren't expensive since they'll last for years. With flats, the older they are, the better. Just like a nun's... faith in our lord Jesus. :D

    So if you bought a real 63 jazz bass you would sand the finish off the neck. I hate to tell you this but satin finishes starting being put on basses that were cheap because it’s a cost saver. Back in the early 80’s you would only find them on $200 basses. Would you really take a $5000 bass and sand down the finish? Your thumb is the only thing that should be touching the neck.
