Nirvana - Dumb | Guitar and Bass Cover |

Covering Dumb, one of Kurt Cobain’s most beautiful compositions. This is another song on In Utero were the bass is mixed super low, which is really disappointing because this is one of Krist Novoselic’s best bass parts in my opinion. For learning for the bass part, I used the instrumental demo and MTV Unplugged version for reference. Using my Fender Kurt Cobain Signature Mustang, in the gorgeous Skystang finish. 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. Follow me on instagram at @ithoeric for Nirvana gear related content Check out my progressive punk band at Check out my acoustic project at
