Nice One, Geezer
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler's just wrapped up the Canadian leg of what promises to be one of this year's most exciting tours. Playing under the name Heaven & Hell, it's basically Black Sabbath but with original vocalist Ronnie James Dio doing the singing. Also on board for the tour is drummer Vinny Appice—it's the first time these four have traveled together in fifteen years.
Butler's stage rig for the tour, which starts up again April 22 for 20 US dates, includes 2 Ampeg SVT-810s, 4 custom 4x12 cabinets, and 2 custom 2x15s, powered by 4 SVT-2PRO heads. Says Geezer's amp tech, Terry Welty, pictured above in front of the Butler arsenal: "These amps work hard, and they have enough power to handle the job. The sound is pure BASS to my ears."
