Krist Novoselic

"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."

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

"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.

"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."

"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.

Krist still uses his Plexi now paired with a JCM2000.

Seen around 2:19 in this video.

Possibly borrowed for this show.

In this exerpt from his book Krist talks about his first bass amp being a PMS amp and in come as you are by Michael Azzerad Krist elaborates about the model being a pms ii

In the Bleach era, Krist used Peavey 2x15 Cabinets live.

During the In Utero era, Krist used Ampeg SVT cabinets live.

As you can clearly see at time 4:17, 5:09, he used 2 of them at this concert in Seattle 1991.

Krist pairs his JMP Plexi with a JCM2000 in recent live years.

This footage captures the soundcheck before Nirvana’s appearance on Saturday Night Live on January 11, 1992. In the video, Krist Novoselic is seen playing through a stacked bass setup consisting of two Hartke 410 XL cabinets positioned on top of two Ampeg 8×10 cabinets. The Hartke cabinets can be easily identified by their characteristic aluminum speakers.
