That's a good bass! Thanks for the kind words! Love Buzz is Black Eagle - that bass is at EMP. This Eagle in the vid is solid and was worth fixing. I don't get out of my mind like that anymore.

According to Nirvana tech Earnie Bailey Krist owned three of those basses: the one in this clip, which was his original "Bleach" era bass, a second one which replaced that bass after the neck got all busted up and which is now on display at the EMP in Seattle and a third one he used with Sweet 75.

They can be told apart from each other by different wear and tear and in this case by a different neck.

@zippy1avion

What did you find nicer Krist, the Ibanez or the Gibson RD Artist?

I think the artist had a at humbucker growl. anoys me that its been dubbed over with a really honky sounding bass on half the songs on the paramount dvd.
