Couple things. Last time, on julian’s auction, when they were sellling a skystang, there were a couple of big mistakes in the description (obvious for nirvana fans, but can happen for them, they list like 500 items a week), so I wouldnt be so categoric about that 1992 date. I think he installed it by the end of 1991, which coincide with the time EBailey started working with them. Search « nirvana tree club 1991 » you will see a picture where the stang already has the tuneomatic (concert is october 1991). So I think he made him install the pickup probably at the same time (which explains why by that time he only took it out twice: SLTS video shooting + beehive records showcase). Then he started to use it live in 1992 and 1993. And it adds to the info that for Nevermind recording he predominantly used the endless nameless black strat (with the TOM) and maybe the jaguar (which he bought during the nevermind sessions when he was in california; got it from a dude in the san fernando valley, and probably the mustang too cause he already had it in august when filming the videoclip) but i dont think he used the mustang that much on nevermind, if he did: that dude never played singlecoils, and was already installing hupbuckers on all his guitars since he was like 16 years old, so i dont see him using singlecoils when he’s making the most important album of his life. Regarding the hotrail box, maybe Ernie just had a set of neck+bridge set, and put back the stock 69 pickup in the neck HR box after changing it, but installed the bridge PU. If only we could send a mail to the dude… :-)

You bring up several great points! I just looked at the pics from the Trees Oct 91 show that are on LiveNirvana.com and I can't tell which bridge is there, and zooming in on it doesn't help make it any clearer lol 😂 but that is a great point that Kurt very rarely used single coils and probably wouldn't have used it when recording his band's major label debut. That's a good guess too about Earnie with the hot rail box! I could see that being right cause Kurt used Hot Rail bridge pickups on other guitars. Even though we got new info from the auction listing, it left us with more questions then answers 😅 I'm hoping someone will have chance to clarify this with Earnie!

@@NirvanaGuitars For the mustang bridge picture, when i type « nirvana tree club » on goog pictures, one of the first i see is a picture taken from kurt’s left side, kurt is in the first plan, you can see krist playing on the background, and on the left side of the picture you can see turner van blarcum the security guy with the ponytail mohawk (which will soon get his head cracked open with a 65 jag :-)) he’s grimacing, struggling to push back the crowd surfers. Kurt has his hand just above the bridge, to me you can see that’s a tuneomatic for sure. Funny thing the only time Kurt mistreated that guitar was that particular night, smashed it on the mixing board. And few weeks ago, when i first time saw close up pictures of that stang, for the auction, i could see the damage on the guitar, there were like little circle / dot traces. I think that’s the mixing desk knobs that left those marks :-))

Fantastic tone recreation! Loved the whole vid from start to finish. I knew about that part where Earnie bailey said it had a hotrail since early 92' but I doubt him because from the the shows that have been posted online It surely doesn't sound like a stock pickup in the bridge of that mustang, and clearly the info that Earnie provided us on about the Jagstang's humbucker was wrong, I mean I dont blame him for that since that was almost over 30 years ago but he was still fairly inconsistent in giving the right info if you ask me. Honestly I'm still confused about the neck hotrail being in the bridge, It could be that It just was a random seymour duncan box but I would doubt it since kurt never really had any hotrails in the neck position of any of his guitars. Anyways great video!

Honestly when I first read about the Hot Rail being installed in early 92, I was hoping that Earnie was misremembering but zooming in on pics from 91 of Kurt using the Comp Stang, it does look it's flat like like a stock pickup. I don't see the two raised lines that Hot Rails have. It's really hard to tell when you zoom in that far, so I could be wrong. I am confused about it being a neck pickup too, so I am anxious to get a neck hot rail myself and to compare it to the sound of the bridge hot rail!

As far as I know, "Bleach" was a Fender Twin and Boss Ds-1. Nevermind was more a mix of things. Kurt wanted to use his premap/poweramp/cabinet/DS1 for everything. He and Butch Vig sort of compromised here and there as Vig didn't want just a distortion pedal sound (he wanted tube amp distortion from various amps). You can bet a Fender Twin made it on the recordings for much of the clean tones. "Territorial Pissings" had a ProCo Rat with his chorus, apparently. Apparently, he used a Big Muff on "Lithium." He started using the Boss DS-2 live, though, he had it set to the Boss DS1 setting usually.

So, I’ve been digging a little bit into that Mesa/Boogie preamp . And I came to this. It’s a tube preamp. Starts with a 7025 tube a few 12ax7 and a ECC81( can be a 12at7 )For the reverb tank. This all is in essence is a preamp circuit that. Takes the signal. Sends it either directly through. Ore through a 5 band eq. Than sends it either through again ore does an addition through a reverb tank and feeds it back into the clean signal. And splits it out into two outputs. I’m not sure if Kurt ever used reverb. But if he did it was very slightly and this is where it came from. Cause there is no other place where there is a reverb tank. Ore a reverb in any regards. The circuit is pretty simple and easy to build by the looks of it. It’s a fender “esq” circuit, a very clean boost. And I think probably this is only used to boost the signal high enough to put it into a power amp. Which is that Crown. And after digging into that. It’s simply a transistor power amp for disco, venues, rave, etc etc. But the output can be bridged for a mono high output. I wouldn’t fuzz about that. Pretty much any decent power amp with a push-pull config will do. This was just to feed the Marshall cabinets enough power to feed the room with sound. So, I’m not sure which twin reverb you have there. I’m assuming it the transistor one. However if it is the tube based. You could check to see which preamp tubes you have. And maybe check if you can substitute these for 12ax7. If you allready have those. And regardless if its a tube amp ore not. You can stick a multiband eq in your fx chain on the back of that Twin. To further tweak the sound. But all in all. You’re very very close. I think most of the “sound” came from fiddling the knobs on the pedals rather than specific output gear. Cause for as far I can see. That was all ment to get the sound out as clean and loud as possible. Well in that regard. That twin you’ve got there will do the job just fine. 💪🏻 But then there is also recording techniques. Which mic was used and the placement of the mic in front of that cabinet. How far from it and how far from the center etc etc. Anyways, I hope you find this info useful.

why are you so surprised that in the nevermind era he used the original mustang pickup? I mean, nevermind's sound is very marked by the tone of the single coil, especially in the clean parts. Don't forget that in its entirety, nevermind is an album with a lot of post-production work. It is very difficult to achieve the nevermind tone only using the equipment that Kurt recorded with. An example is how in many songs there are more than one recorded guitar line, I don't remember exactly but I know that at least one song on that album has up to 5 simultaneous guitar lines. By the way, I liked your video!

Thank you! I'm surprised because other than the comp stang, Kurt changed the bridge pickups in all of his Fenders I believe. It seems like he was never really a single coil guy prior or after Nevermind, so him using single coils to record his band's major label debut was surprising to me! You're completely right about Nevermind's production, it's a super studio produced album with so many different tones on it that it is a very difficult album to recreate tone wise.

The noise interlude in Drain You is a little bit different. Look at how Kurt plays it live. Index finger is right, but then middle finger goes on the fifth fret A string, ring finger goes sixth fret D string and the pinkie 7th fret G string (and also he switches it up to seventh fret B and high E strings). On the 2nd part of the interlude(the climax), he does play the power chord like you're doing, but for the first part he's playing that extremely dissonant chord. Having said this, good job! I especially like the "Polly" tone (and not to be a pain in the ass, but look at how Kurt plays the G chord...no B note on the A string ;) )

not that anyone asked me, buuut. I just dont understand why every Nirvana nut ( i very much was one, so im not hating lol) has to emulate everything about how Kurt played. Most notably the way the fingerboard positioning is. The whole, using only first three fingers, (never pinky) using the strange ring finger power chord method, and the weirdest is when doing just a regular E or A chord, using just the first 2 fingers lol. I think you are a fantastic guitarist, and i genuinely think you are one of the few that play even nirvana parts correct (there are def more nuances than anyone would think). I have also seen you switch to a more conventional style of playing (using the pinky for power chords, just one finger for e and a chords, etc, ), so jw is it just a thing you do when playing Nirvana songs? just curious. (btw, you are not near as bad as most others that try to emulate Kurt in every way possible lol.) I just do not get that. Im a metallica fanboy, but i dont even think i own a metallica shirt, let alone try to be /mimic james/kirk lol. And i was an even bigger Nirvana fanboy when i started playing guitar lol. There's something to be said about being yourself. Even Kurt would HATE that people would try to emulate his every move im sure lol. Having said all that, Keep up the great content! im a big fan!

These exact tone settings work just as perfect on a stock squire bullet mustang HH and a marshall MG15cdr! Attention to detail is perfect and can probably get even more on point with pickups and specific amps, but for the average low budget player you can still have tons of fun with your favorite tones with whatever is available

Hey man, incredible series you have going on, not at all expecting you to see this but I'm desperately wondering how you went about recording the guitar? Did you do a line in to your computer? I don't see a mic on the amp so

This is amazing. As someone rediscovering Kurt’s amazing work as an adult, and now guitarist, I’ve been really interested in his tones. This is such an amazing resource for me. Any plans to do 1994 MTV Unplugged?

Wait so for the competition mustang, Kurt had the original pick ups for neck and bridge. But later on changed the Bridge pick up with a hot rails neck pick up?
@NirvanaGuitars
Жыл бұрын
I thought so at the time of making of this video, because of the then newly released information from the Julien's auction page. It has since then been verified by Earnie Bailey that Kurt had a regular bridge hot rails after 92. I discuss that in depth in this recent video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pqasxauoaZuVnoY

Dam good catch on the DS-2, I believe thats from the Paramount show? If so, then Kurt used the DS-2 very early on, but how much of the tour was DS1 vs DS2? Now I’m curious lol

Well, you’ve been honest in saying you thought you had it right. And then didn’t and you said so. And I wouldn’t fuzz about it. Cause Kurt was constantly changing parts in his sound chain cause he just couldn’t find the right sound. Also we don’t know what was used in the studio. But I think you are very very close. The crown amp is just a stage audio amplifier. So in essence any power amp should do. It’s just an amp. That pre amp is something I would be more concerned about. Cause that might give more shape to the sound. Anyway, now I want to dust of my peavey red line.

Incredible!!! You definitely succeeded in recreating the tone of the Nevermind tour! You played Live At The Paramount, right? You're probably one of the few who hits power chords like Kurt, if I'm right. One more question, did you just do Nevermind tone or not? If not, please do so, if you don't mind. It's just that you play all the songs of Nirvana on your channel incredibly cool.

@NirvanaGuitars

It’s from the overall volume! On a twin reverb, the gain comes from how high you set the volume. You get a slight taste of distortion around 4/5, and it gets real crunchy around 6/7+
