Song 16 - "Come as You Are" by Nirvana

Nevermind was one of the first CDs I ever bought. I owned various cassette tapes prior to that. This album got very heavy play back in the day! Anyways, here’s my cover!

Once again with the Jino Jazz Bass. H Pickup rolled off, bridge and neck are full volume. I had the preamp on, but the boosts are dialed back all the way. We are down-tuned a full step. Since these are lighter gauge strings I found that to present it’s own challenge!

I added some slides here and there and I think they fit well. I guess it’s a habit! :laughing:

Darkglass Microtubes 500v2 Head & Ampeg SVT15E cab. I scooped the mids on the EQ and set Compression at 50%. Microtubes Engine ON with Tone and Blend at 50%. I used XLR out to a Volt 276 interface and then to GarageBand. Video recorded with OBS. Finished in iMovie.

This may be the last cover where I use a webcam… I’ve got a decent Sony DSLR from my streaming days and I plan to incorporate it soon. :smiley:

Enjoy!
