Krist Novoselic

This Bass Guitar was used in Nirvanas iconic Mtv Unplugged Concert

The Ibanez Roadster is shown in this very early photo of Krist with his tongue out.

Krist had 3–4 these, one of which I modified to have a rosewood neck. These basses were frequently toured throughout the band's career. One can be seen in the Sliver video and parts of the footage used for the Sub Pop In Bloom video. Krist's original Black Eagle is on exhibition at the Experience Music Project.

"Krist had at least two of each in Ebony and Natural finishes. One of Krist's Natural finish Rippers can be seen in the Come As You Are video; An Ebony model can be seen in some of the footage used for the Sub Pop In Bloom video (you may also have seen one smacking Krist in the face at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards!)."

"Krist had two T-Birds, one in Vintage Sunburst and the other in Ebony. I converted the Ebony bass from black to chrome hardware, and Krist eventually gave it to Matt Lukin of Mudhoney in 1994."

"I gave this to Krist as a Kristmas present, he used it at the festival shows in Brazil."

"Used at the MTV Unplugged session. This bass was rented from S.I.R. in New York, Krist didn't have an "unplugged" bass of his own."

It's a bass guitar that he used in In Bloom video. You can see it at 0:23 and trough the whole video.

In this picture from the early days, we can see Krist playing a Ibanez Roadstar II RB630

Novoselic can be seen in this photo playing an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass in concert with Paul McCartney.

"The In Bloom video was to look as if it were filmed in the mid '60s and to have that kind of British invasion quality to it. Krist phoned to ask if I had any cool '60s basses for the shoot and I remembered still having the Ampeg that I played back in the early '80s" -from livenirvana.com

This bass played and then smashed at the Kennel Club.

This bass played at Lee's Palace in Toronto.

Krist can be seen with w gibosn eb2 bass here, it's probably pelham blue.

In his June 2018 cover feature for Bass Player magazine, Novoselic is pictured with his Squier Gary Jarman Signature Bass, and it is listed in his 'Gear List' for the recording of his latest LP with Giants In The Trees.

"Used throughout the Bleach era." as shared by Earnie Bailey, Nirvana's primary guitar tech.

"This is the amp Krist used before he acquired the SVT 400T. I'm not 100% sure of when he came by it, but I think it was around the time of Sliver or possibly earlier. It became a back-up amp that lived in his rack for later tours but saw little use."

"The SVT 400T appeared in early 1991, I believe. It saw a lot of road and I'm pretty sure he used this for recording Nevermind. It was stock, if anything was changed it would have been the input jacks to something heavier. The SVT was used until replaced by the complex HiWatt rig."

"Here is the somewhat complex HiWatt saga: I found Krist his first one at a Seattle pawnshop for $300, and it had been previously drilled for a preamp output on the back. Andy Marshall at THD Electronics upgraded the preamp line out and modded the amp for KT-90 tubes (see below for more info). We bought a Groove Tubes speaker emulator to run the entire amp through the power amps and into the array of Boogie & Marshall cabs. The line out direct from the preamp sounded best, so we typically ran the HiWatt not utilizing the KT-90 output section at all, with the exception of the Crocodile Cafe show where I believe we used the HiWatts with 2 Marshall 4×12 cabs, and the recording of In Utero. For In Utero the HiWatts were sent out as was a 100 watt 1968 Marshall plexi Super Lead converted to 6550 tubes."

"Used on the In Utero tour." as shared by Earnie Bailey, guitar tech for NIRVANA.

"Borrowed from Kurt's rig." as shared by Earnie Bailey, NIRVANA'S primary guitar tech.

"Used for the In Utero demo sessions at Reciprocal and the '94 session at Robert Lang Studios." as shared by Earnie Bailey, NIRVANA's primary guitar tech.

At 5:34 in this video of Endless Nameless, Krist is using a Mesa Boogie Bass Cab.

Throughout this video we get glimpses of Krist's amp. It's hard to make out, but by looking close you can see that it is an Ampeg SVT-II Non-Pro. It was probably only borrowed for the show though.

"On occasion in late 1992 Krist would use Kurt's old DS-1's (after Kurt made the switch to the Boss DS-2); For later tours he requested the return of the Rat."

"Krist's distortion pedal of choice." as mentioned by Earnest Bailey, NIRVANA's guitar tech, and heard on many recordings including In Bloom
