the nirvana "bleach" amp kurt cobain used (with jack endino)

[@lippi2171]

2:36 Dr Endino steps on the distortion in perfect timing haha

[@AaronRash]

Haha he does!

[@svc1978]

I had the great pleasure of recording with Jack at Soundhouse in summer of 2002. I was a stupid English teenager trying to act all cool when I was actually terrified, Nirvana were my absolute heroes and visiting Seattle was a dream come true. Well our band didn’t end up famous but Jack was an absolute gentleman for the three weeks we worked together. He works super hard, he’s a very very smart guy and I have memories to enjoy forever. Great video, I hope you had a blast. :)

[@Ghetto-Yeti]

How awesome is getting to go talk to Jack and play the twin Kurt used? I might be sort of jealous… Jack is eq-ing the twin while you’re you’re playing. Sooooo frickin cool.I’m gonna shut up andwatch the rest of the video. Can’t wait to hear the aluminum guitar! These tiny details that no one else has ever even thought to find out about are amazing! Thanks bro!

[@paleshelter5376]

that amp..what a great sound 🙌

[@pabloavendano7775]

Speaker?

[@scootb7400]

I’ve actually met Jack twice. One in 2009 I was a college student selling some gear on the old Yahoo Seattle Studios group. Jack bought it and I went to his old studio and he humored me for like 20 minutes, talking about the documentary ‘Hype.’ We also talked about some of his former colleagues who I’d rubbed shoulders with T the Art Institute of Seattle (now defunct) in ‘08. Then I met him later in 2012 for a few minutes with a mutual friend. Again he was casual, yet professional and friendly. A super cool guy who seems genuine and eager to engage with fans and music enthusiasts.

[@conconcasebolt]

I was in a metal band back in 2018 and we recorded 6 songs at Soundhouse, and Jack let our guitar player use this Cobain amp (it was a Cobain amp from bleach, so I assume its the same one). It blew my mind that we were allowed to do that.

[@fluidflod]

Wow that’s amazing did it sound good

[@donewithmodernlife]

Jack seems like a really nice guy & that was cool of him to have you to the studio. I can’t wait to hear the Bleach IR packs! As far as the time between videos, dude, it’s worth the wait. Take all the time you need.

[@Beelzebubba2823]

Bro what's the Bleach IR packs???

[@sargentman1640]

Have they come out?

[@DrMurdercock]

At the end of the day Jack knows it's just an amp and was built to be played and he let you play it. Super cool man.

[@happyjellyfish2008]

Goosebumps when I see these videos because the tone is always exactly as I remember it from the first time hearing these songs

[@nick011182]

I cannot believe Jack still has that amp. I would give almost anything to have the same opportunity you had to play it. Jack has always come across as such a cool guy who just loves music like the rest of us. Awesome video!

[@seanmckelvey6618]

Stunning sounding amp. Kurt is a big reason I became so fond of the Twin Reverb & vintage Fender amps in general.

[@paulbadoo9326]

It's so cool to see young guys playing Nirvana songs 30 years later. Just waiting for THE big guitar music revival.

[@kastro99]

it might come soon, people are fed up with pop music for the last 15 years

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

@@kastro99 there's hardly a proper record industry, no music papers, much fewer live venues, no music sales Vs Spotify etc!... if the revival happens most people won't know about it, the band's won't make any money because of that and will have to jack it in if they want to settle down. Lots of good bands about, esp the punk harcore scene... it's just a total DIY ethic...wich those have always had.

[@themagicminstrels476]

​@@mikethebloodthirsty musicians deserve to live off of their craft. I pray for all of those talented musicians trying to make a living doing what they love everyday. It is the right of everyman to pursue happiness! I hope for a music revival on an international level.

Good to know Jack is still making music .. If I lived in the US, I would go record my band there for sure.. now know that the bleach amp is still there is amazing! COOL VID MATE!

If you ever make it to Seattle, its a great place to lay down a record!

From 2:21 to 2:57 I was moved. Kurt's music has come to life with the right outfit!

[@davidhaworth7152]

Dude! Love this. I’m 46 and to see a younger generation appreciate and love this music gives me a huge smile 😃

[@KaoswareMetal]

Awesome video dude ! The first strum gave me goosebumps ! The sound is still there it's amazing

[@xbratusx]

ya at 2:09 I had the same feeling

[@crazkurtz]

And you can get that sound from basically any amp. It’s not special, it’s attainable, which is awesome

[@Hendricks777]

I’m a Nirvana nerd and I’m in the navy stationed in Bremerton. I read online recently that Jack Endino, before becoming a producer, worked at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. He said he picked that amp up in Port Orchard in this video and it gave me goosebumps. I go to Mainline Music in Port Orchard a lot. I’m not sure if that place was open then but if he picked it up there that’d be crazy Great video man. I love your content

[@krisfrederick5001]

"I got to play through Kurt Cobain's amp with Jack Endino" -Said no one but Aaron Rash and Kurt Cobain

[@masterofreality230]

Well, its Jacks amp, but I get it.

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

With a Univox (copy) which jack Endino hasn't seen SINCE Cobain 😮😮😮

more like "said all the hundreds of bands he has worked with over the past 3 decades"

[@foundvhs]

Literally every band that records there uses that amp.

[@masterofreality230]

@@foundvhs Not a huge surprise.

[@matthewf1979]

That’s totally awesome man! You’re right, that amp is probably insanely valuable. I was never really a huge Nirvana fan back in the early 90’s, but I loved the hell out of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. I would flip my lid if I got to play with some of Kim’s or Stone’s gear.

[@465marko]

Bit of an overlooked gem. Very nice to hear it. Glad you played About a girl; that's the sound.

[@tangerinesrock90038]

Dude this was so cool! Sounded dead on! 💯💯👏🏼

[@Fendervana]

So awesome Aaron! The thought that last Hi-Flier plugged into that amp before yours was Kurt's is mind blowing!

[@heirrose1606]

Thanks man So cool Happy for you to get to sit there with Jack and play

Hey Aaron just wanted to say thank you for being such an amazing inspiration really showed me I should follow my dreams no matter what it takes.

[@AaronRash]

Wow, thanks! Absolutely, never stop chasing whatever it is you're after

[@jamescrosbie7689]

Love recording at Soundhouse. Never worked directly with Jack, but once when we were recording in there with Steve Fisk he was running late, so Jack came up and let us in and hung out and talked with us for a bit. Ending up getting our rhythm guitarist to record on that amp (which we ended up micing up in the bathroom lol). He also did an amazing Jello Biafra impersonation haha

[@Kipa12312]

This is honestly crazy! Pretty rad of Jack to have you over to play with the amp. It blows my mind that he'd never seen anyone else with a Hi-Flier since Kurt! You would've thought there would have been people inspired by Kurt bringing them in.

[@martincoleshill7000]

Props to you Sir, best Nirvana content on KZbin 😊

[@rk28984]

So happy for you, looks like you had a blast. Jack seems to be a super nice guy as well.

[@jonnyhenningson1182]

I recorded a record there in 2007, and that amp is just chilling in the studio and Jack will totally let you use it on your record, and I DID! That amp has been on hundreds of records.

Wow, this was such a surreal experience just watching Jack Endino himself talk about the details and nuances in Kurt's playing and you playing that very same twin reverb Kurt played 34 years ago. It's unreal and it sounds exactly like that record. I hope you get back there again soon and make a couple of more videos and release the IR for that twin. So very excited for the next upload!!

[@MikeGervasi]

Back in the early 2000's I went to the London HRC. They had a "vault" containing all kinds of amazing things. One of those was Kurt's guitar and his white sunglasses. The guy running the tour let us pick up and play whatever we wanted. Blew my mind. I have pics of the stuff.

It must have been surreal with Jack EQing the amp and commenting on your guitar like he did.. brilliant. I had the privilege of meeting Kurt briefly at Reading in 92.
