So I have two electric basses, one Ibanez Precision (split coil pickups only) and a classic vibe jazz bass copy. I have a 15 watt guitar amp with only Volume, Treble, Middle and Bass, it also has a built in over drive. I use D'addario and other cheap strings.
$3,300 NOW $2,400 SHIPPED CONUS. NO TRADES
Beautiful, unique Gibson RD Artist Bass. This is the active version which takes a single 9-volt battery, and features a rather interesting MOOG-created pre-amp. In the late 70's, this was pretty unique tech, while todays tech is objectively much much...

Hello all! After a few weeks of trying out tones using only amp sims and plugins, I decided to try my Micro VR through its DI out.
I'm quite impressed with the outcome! Hearing how it sounds on its own, I'm pretty sure the DI out doesn't have any cab simulation so I added a cab IR (Ignite Amps...
Hello all, I have an Ampeg SVT 2 non-pro that I actually believed might have been previously owned by Krist novoselic. Former bass player of Nirvana. How might I go about finding out if this is true? I also had the cabinet but sadly I sold it.
Hi I need help with a certain part of Nirvana's floyd the barber
The part is at 1:21.
The tab I have here shows so how many times do I play that and is that the correct way? Can someone send me a mp3 of them playing that part. This is the only part I just can't figure out.
Hi I have a Nirvana bass tab book and I was playing along and then I wondered how to get his bass tone and what strings he uses. Any help would be awesome! Also why does he hold the pick somewhat side ways? Thanks.
New video from the Bassline Breakdown Series. This week it’s ‘Come As You Are’ by Nirvana - another classic Kris Novoselic bassline. Download the free PDF from the description link of the video and get your plectrum out! Enjoy!
Some people take a walk thru the woods & find calm, etc... me? I look at this! :) just gonna stare at it, today, when I get frazzled... (spent time, this week, ‘wheelin & dealin’- this is the aftermath.)

IMHO, had Nirvana been autotuned when they came on the scene, they would have completely lost their edge and quite possibly their success.
The video at the article link didn't work so here are some Youtube versions;
I had a little duo gig tonight with my friend C. Brent LaCasce, who sings, and plays piano and trumpet.
I had my new GG Array on a pole at ear level and about 4 feet from my Zoom recorder which was about 2 feet from the grand piano with the lid closed. The vocal was a DI from Brents Yamaha...
I was I the dentist office. They played a solo piano elevator music version of "Teen Spirit"....or was it "Come As You Are"? I don't know. They're the same song anyway.
The point is, it was actually quite beautiful. First time I ever liked a song of theirs.
I'm helping a friend for a show coming up next month. We're playing a few songs by Nirvana....
I way more comfortable with fingers but am not sure if it's a "thing" in the Nirvana fan community...
You'd be surprised.
I understand the average listener can't tell the difference but want to do...
I while back I got this old Peavey Standard head. Brought it home and plugged it in to my Peavey 410 cab, played for about 20 minutes before the head died with a loud pop. I thought I had killed it. Disappointed...
I continued to use the Peavey 410 cab together with a Peavey Tour 700 head, but...
Hi all! I recently joined a Nirvana tribute band and it's been going really well. The guys are super professional and talented and we mesh really well. The guitar player has Kurt's signature jaguar and mustang and the drummer has Dave's tama kit with all the same dimensions and cymbals. We have...
I'm selling an excellent condition Warwick Streamer LX made in 2011. I picked this up two years ago from forum member WarMesa. This is in excellent, pretty much almost pristine condition apart from 3 extremely minor blemishes (pictures B14, B15, B16 - B14 and B16 cannot be felt under the...

While web surfing for info on Supro basses (of all things), blundered into this:
Vintage Catalogues Featuring Gretsch Electric Guitars
The Supro catalog, in spite of it being the right year, does not list the basses I own.
Edit: Drat! The copied link shifted as I was typing the post. From...
hey guys I know that this has probably been spoken about a lot, but I'm here to bring it back lol.. I've been listening to a lot more gut punching bass tones and that nirvana bass tone really reminds me of it. My setup up is a lakland jazz bass with thomastik infeld flats going into a mesa...
I have posted here some isolated Nirvana tracks of Krist playing his Gibson Ripper. One thing I've noticed is that at random points, the sound suddenly changes and has a lot more midrange and less low end. At first I thought there might be some weird midrange pedal in use, but then I realised...
Basses:
Ibanez Black Eagle 2609B (1989-1990, 1992-1994)
1 without pickguard. Used on Bleach album and tour.
1 with pickguard
1 without pickguard, with rosewood neck and gold knob plate
(Note: one of the above basses was also used on the Robert Lang sessions in 1994 that produced 'You...
I got this off another TB'er last August. This bass is a beast and has served me well as my first 5 string I have ever owned. My new NS5H2 has arrived and for me (Spector Guy) there is no reason to have this laying around not being used.
The original thread is here SOLD - Warwick Streamer Stage...

Hey everyone, I have a Fender Jazz, a gallien kruger 700-RB II and a ampeg 6x10 classic cab, which EQ setup should I use to get closer to a Nirvana sound?
I'm trying out for a Nirvana tribute band and I need a sound close to the original with these instruments that I've got. For the moment I...
I watched a YouTube instructional video, but I'm not 100% I got the chorus right. I thought it was like this:
G|-------------|---------------|
D|-------------|---------------|
A|-------3-----|-------3-------| x4
E|-5-4-3---5-3-|-5-4-3---0-3-4-|
OR is it like this...
Selling some of my collection to fund a custom build.
Here is a 1978 Gibson Ripper. Great playing and sounding bass. It's a big and heavy bass, so if you have troubles with a Fender bass, this isn't the bass for you. All original (as far as I know), but it has a crack on the bottom side near...
