The HIWATT LA412 is a pretty cool cab. Kurt Cobain had one of these he played on several live shows, including the famous beehive records store.

Goddmn i've written somenthing so similar to the song you put in the first part of the video, and it drives me crazy that we wrote the same darn harmony and melody maybe just bc we listen to nirvana a ton. Great vid

[@earljohnson8851]

It’s so amazing watching this guy become something special. Like he only started with guitar 2 YEARS AGO and this dude has already been so crucial to a lot of our discovery.

[@sonicd57]

I’ve been subscribed to Aaron’s channel since 3,000 subscribers. It’s bittersweet for me. It’s like watching my favorite band become mainstream! Kind of frustrating cuz I felt like I had an inside secret to something special, and now the secret is out. But so happy for the attention he’s getting.. cuz he deserves it. So much time put into this channel, awesome productions and texture, obviously awesome content and subject matter, and tons of talent.

[@daskrunkly3213]

only 2 years and now he has so much knowledge about gear and tone and it’s crazy. crazy to think about the fact that i’ve been playing guitar for longer than someone i look up to and learn a lot from

[@Dankmemes555]

That intro song was absolutely amazing!!!

[@evsstudiorecords357]

The intro music to this video is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Last summer there was a huge fire right next to my farm and I can remember listening to this intro music out in my shop while I was fixing an old amp trying to take my mind off the fire. It perfectly captured the emotions I was experiencing. The fear, depression and uncertainty of what was going to happen next. A couple days later I recorded drums over it and doubled it into a song and it is such a beautiful piece of music. Aaron you are a genius. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@rk28984]

My band once opened for Arabrot and they shared the cabs with us. I played one of their Hiwatt cabs with Fane speakers in it and it was one of the best sounding cabs I ever heard.

Some notable people who believe Kurt Cobain was murdered: - Norm Stamper (Seattle Chief of Police at the time of Kurt's death in 1994, now sadly retired) - Tom Grant (Courtney Love's P.I) - Hank Harrisson (Courtney Love's Father) - Leland Cobain (Kurt's Grandfather and closest family member at the time of his death in 1994) - Rosemary Carroll (Kurt and Courtney's Attorney in 1994) - Dr. Cyril Wecht (Leading and Veteran Forensic Pathologist who has studied the case in detail) There are others, including Kurt and Courtney's Nanny from March 1994 who also thinks it was murder, but the above are the most notable.

I got it transferred onto DVD but then didn't know how to convert it for youtube, maybe I should look into it this year. The veleno is the short "solo" section.

You probably know this, but Drain you is actually 5 guitar tracks, 2 bassman, 2 mesa, and 1 center track with a pedal on the bassman. when bitch vig goes over this in a nevermind doc, he actually isolated the tracks, you may be able to use this as a reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYOuZ5Ztqr2pgKc Also i know generally a speaker is where the guitar tone is at in an amp, but maybe the bassman speakers sound different when plugged into a regular guitar amp opposed to bass amp. Idk, just a thought.

And curious question if you hate them would you be willing to sell them!? Just wondering!? Well hope all is good and keep up the awesome videos… take care, Rych.

I ve done series/parallel/split coil wiring for my classic vibe mustang, in parallel mode it sounds extremely close to heart shaped box tone. I dont have video of recreating it exactly the same but i have video with heart shaped box tuned -2 and some chorus, i just like that kind of sound. Hot rail in parallel wiring mode sound bright and dynamic as single coil but alot better!

Can you figure out what tubes he was using? Different tubes can change the tone so much. I've read he wasn't using normal 12ax7 tubes, he was using a lower noise 7025 (12ax7) tube.

he would have used hot rails on a strat during nevermind with the bassman cab through his mesa boogie studio preamp. the in utero tone for rape me would for sure me a ferrington mustang body, maple neck possibly, definantly either a ferrington humbucker - split single coil or he used a duncan jb split in the same ferrington... i remember earnie bailey saying in one interview they swapped heaps of pickups around during in utero

Where do you get the isolated Nirvana guitar tracks from? For example, around 6:15 when you're comparing the Ferrington guitar to the studio recording of Heart Shaped Box... Where did you get the isolated studio track?

It would be amazing if you made a website like gilmourish with all your findings. This is very useful and interesting. For example I need to know the wiring for the jaguar and mustang. Pot and caps values =)
