This is one cool bass made famous by Geezer Butler on Sabbath record: Vol.4.

The bass has the most powerful pickup i've encountered ever! blows away Fenders, Gibsons etc; It's shortscale but a little longer than a Gibson EB-0, so it has a little more defined tone. The neck is very comortable, slim and easy to play. This is the coolest stage bass ever made, by the way, did you know, Phil Lynott played one too!
