It was a challenge shaping this guitar tone. On In Utero, it is believed that Kurt Cobain used Steve Albini’s Veleno Aluminum guitar on Very Ape.
This song also has the distinction of being the only Nirvana song on a studio album that has a separate lead guitar part.
Using my 1995 Fender Jag-Stang for the rhythm part. The Jag-Stang is the guitar Kurt Cobain personally designed with Fender. He cut in half pictures of a Jaguar and Mustang, pasted them together and said to Fender “Bulid this.“
Mods to my Jag-Stang: Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker, Fender Texas Special neck pickup and locking tuners.
Using my Fender Kurt Cobain Signature Mustang, in the gorgeous Skystang finish, for the lead part. The Kurt Cobain Mustang is modeled after Skystang II, which is fitted with a black Seymour Duncan JB humbucker. Skystang I was Kurt’s main mustang on the In Utero tour, the only difference being it’s white JB humbucker.
The Kurt Cobain Signature Mustangs were made in the same factory in Japan in which Kurt’s actual Skystangs were made. Pretty authentic!
For bass, I am using my Ibanez Black Eagle 40th Anniversary reissue. Krist Novoselic used a Ibanez Black Eagle throughout Nirvana’s entire career, especially in the Bleach era.
Both were recorded with my Avid Eleven Rack. I am making presets for each song’s clean and distorted tones for both the guitar and bass, trying to match the album tones as close as I can.
Recorded in Pro Tools.
