Always makes me laugh when people give you or other tone chasers crap for using post processing when getting a studio tone. Even In Utero has post processing (most clearly heard in the reverb swells on the vocals for All Apologies)
05:25 A neck humbucker was used becasue it had shorter mounting legs and would fit the Fender Body easier than a bridge position one.
The K strat is my favorite nirvanna strar
What if the vandalism strat is a repaint of k strat and ofc a new pickgard
do you know where i could get like a cheapish left handed kurt cobain guitar like a jaguar or something like that
I think you played turnaround like slightly wrong, the rhythm sounds off compared to the song
@nirvanaguitars . Thanks for your stuff. A little challenge for you, which would also help people like me that don't have Fender guitar and amp combo. How can you get a Nirvana sound with a Gibson and a Marshall??????
I'm so glad you did Turnaround. That was always one of my favorite covers by Nirvana. I feel like that one doesn't get as much love from fans but I always liked what they did with it. I also thought Son of a Gun was a really good cover (all 4 of these were great honestly). So cool to get the 1990 throwback. Thanks for doing this.
I have a request, could you try the studio tone for Rape Me?
Did you have to route out the body to get the tilted humbucker in there, im working on my own guitar build and I want to do that but I dont think it will fit. This is one of my favorite nirvana tones and you did it full justice as usual!
I love that tone so much
what if he bought the 59 N and 59B as a set and modified both guitars at the same time to have one as a replacement for the other. similar to skystang and orangstang. Maybe he knew both pickups were probably the same based on PAF specs or similar and used it as a way to get both easily
I love the way you ended this. Almost concussion like..lol
Oooh I can do this one I have all the gear apart from the amp (but that won’t matter if I’m using the pedal for distortion right)
you are the best guitarist in the world,Eric you won't never dissapoints ????????
You think you could do the BBC session with something in the way? I’ve always loved that tone and feedback control
Can you make a video or short covering the correct tunings for the albums?
I've been waiting for this video and it was amazing
Do a video on krists bass and pats guitar
Adoro muito o seu canal, parabéns pelo trabalho de apresentar os diferentes setup de guitarra, pedais e amps que Kurt Cobain usava. Todos esses setups tem timbres sensacionais, e isso é que mais me fascino do som do Nirvana.
Just perfect! ????
What are your top 3 Nirvana guitars you own?
I know this isnt about the video but i wish there was more recordings of opinion other than the kaos radio session
could you try to replicate the tone of live in buenos Aires in 1992?
white strat eater here, i really want to believe this video was for me and me only, thanks!
Tad bit too much presence imo.
again the tone is on point as always, but to me it sounds like the clean part of d-7 was recorded with the middle pickup
What type of amplifier, guitar, guitar pickups, guitar pick, finger size, amplifier cable, and microphone did Kurt cobain use and do to record smells like teen spirit?
Doesn't Kurt play D-7 in drop D on the Reading DVD?
