Bass Guitars used by Kim Deal on Surfer Rosa (2007 Remaster)
Originally her sister Kelley's bass, Kim borrowed it when she joined The Pixies and used it as her main bass on Come On Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa. It was replaced (possibly returned to Kelley) by a Fender '62 Reissue Bass.
Aria Pro II CSB-450 Cardinal Series
In this Article, Kim Deal can be seen in a photo using an Aria Pro II Cardinal Series. She Used it on Come On Pilgrim (Pixies Album) and Surfer Rosa (Pixies Album).
Aria Pro II Cardinal Series
Deal has always favoured solid bodied basses. She initially played an Aria Pro II Cardinal Series in the Pixies, which actually belonged to her sister and Breeders bandmate Kelley. This guitar can be heard throughout the Pixies’ first two albums, Come On Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa, and then again in The Kelley Deal 6000, Kelley’s mid-nineties solo project.
“It was the weirdest sounding bass,” said Deal to Bass Player magazine in 2004. “At first I was always like, ‘I’m playing a dumb bass, it’s not a Fender so it’s not cool.’ But then we played with My Bloody Valentine, and that’s band’s bass player had an Aria Pro too.”
