Bass Guitars used by Geezer Butler on Vol. 4 (2021 Remaster)

Electric Basses

John Birch Geezer Butler Bass

Maybe looking for some lower tuning and more versatility, Geezer started to use some handmade basses. This white one is a John Birch, very similar to the Rickenbacker El Dorado. The White John Birch handmade bass was using during the "Black Sabbath Vol 4" and "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" tour. There are few details about the logotype. You can see the word "Cocaine" in cocacola style.
