The Secret History of Rock

Play Bass Like the Dude in Nirvana

Krist Novoselic is the third member of Nirvana, the guy people talk about the least mainly because he’s not in a superstar band like the drummer or dead like the singer.

Yet as a founding party of one of the most influential groups of a generation, his name carries some serious weight.  In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind album, Gibson issued the Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass.  

It’s a sweet looking guitar with a maple body and neck.  And it’s all black, which is cool.  How much? Around $2400.  But if you’re serious about your bass playing and you liked what Krist contributed to Nirvana’s sound, it’s worth a look.
