kurt is very high on my list of influences, that list including frank iero, jerry garcia, eddie van halen, robin skinner, claudio sanchez, and yvette young to name but a few. and as important as they all were and are to my own musical journey, kurt is one of my absolute favorite musicians to have ever lived. it took me a long time to really appreciate nirvana’s music, but after i really dove into it, it was like learning a new language. the way kurt used direct lyrics and driving guitar riffs to tell intricate and complex stories is absolutely incredible. in the decades since his death, we’ve seen a number of artists do what kurt pioneered, and while they all do it very well, there was something very special about how and when kurt wrote the music he did. kurt was uniquely brilliant, and that can never be understated. i wish him a very happy birthday, wherever the hell he ended up

Nirvana was a massive influence on me, I was 12 in 92 when I first heard Nevermind and that was it. I was lucky enough to get ahold of a Cobain Mustang right when they came out and I love it. I did swap the jb for a super distortion and replaced the tuners with Gotoh's but that's about it. That guitar thru my Mesa studio 22 or deluxe reverb can nail just about any tone. I had an original Jag-Stang years ago, the neck was phenomenal but I just couldn't stand the body. I kinda regret selling it but I liked it more for what it was vs how it played. Funny enough I picked up a Univox Hi Flyer in 93 for $50 and traded it to a guy for an Ibanez RG470 in 96. Seemed like a good idea at the time but I seriously regret that one.

I had his Jaguar, but am just keeping the Mustang (for sound) and Jagstang (for looks/modding). You're going to love it when you get the studio preamp with a Mesa power amp. Mesa/Boogie makes them sound twice as good as a Fender Twin, IMO. I might be selling them soon too, if you're interested. I have a Conrad-Johnson PV-2 as preamp now, that somehow sounds even better for about the same price. I wanted to get Kurt's tone and then improve it for so many years, and I feel like the PV-2 was the ticket to that for me. (You can hear both preamps compared on my channel) But, the Mesa/Boogie with a Mustang is the exact tone of his that I wanted, (Nevermind / Incesticide tone) and it seems to record better for some reason. I'm not sure I'm ready to part with it yet, because I still like having his exact tone, but sometime soon, because I want to explore more hifi distortion guitar tones.
