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

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.

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

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

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!

Jack Endino is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs

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

Truly one of the greatest music gear channels

2:22 That’s like a time capsule back to the Bleach sessions. The tone is so close it’s almost scary

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.

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

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!!

Props to you Sir, best Nirvana content on RU-vid 😊

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

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

Amazing video! What an opportunity. It’s unbelievable cool to get to see you speak with Jack and play though that amp. Can’t wait to see your future content :D

wow bro this video is insane you are the luckiest guy ever to meet jack,,, I love hearing jack speak

Omg thats amazing. When u played about a girl, in relation to tonal quality it sounded exactly like bleach. The USA alternative underground music scene in the 80s and early 90s was unreal. We didnt have that in the uk. We have no endinos who recorded legendary artists who changed music who are accessible as such. All our legendary people and studios are inaccessible.

What an awesome opportunity! Just goes to show how good of a job you're doing with these videos. Also, on a side note, I need a full version of the intro song. It really sparked something inside me similar to hearing Kurt's home recordings for the first time and just made me want to listen to it over and over.

Nice man! I love your channel, I have been watching your videos none stop since I found your channel, super fun!! haha I recorded with Jack in 2019 here in Santiago, Chile. We did the 2nd album from my band with him. Odio Sensible is my band though.

How awesome is this... That amp sounds killer... Congrats man on getting to go meet and chat with Jack... Super cool you got invited to go do that and play..

Whats the tune at the start ????

I’ve always wanted to play with the same equipment Kurt used so this is very awesome!

Dude these intros are so good where’s the music at???

Dude I am watching this at 4 22 am.Right when you said it I was looking at the time.Gods honest truth

Justo hoy le estaba moviendo al Bias FX 2 para conseguir el tono de About a Girl. Definitivamente apenas y medio pude acercarme. Que video tan chingon :)

Hi Aaron, This video just popped in my feed, thank you very much for this. It feels like going to the museum of guitar techs, and it feels awesome. Cheers man!

Jack is a legend and seems like such a cool guy. Would love to work with him one day

@fender needs to come by and recreate it and give this studio the profit sharing….

Thanks for this video!! Cheers from Spain

Can you please put tab out for every one of your intros. Please. Asking for a mate. Cheers.

Boah u really got me with this awesome short vid! The song/cover in the beginning sounds amazing, is it somewhere available? I wanna listen to the whole song 😀

So glad you have a chance to do this, you deserve it

Jack seems like a really cool guy!

this is awesome but man, your ferrington running into the quad sounds amazing.

what song was at the beginning

Which is the first song of the video?

What an awesome experience! Great tone!

Really really cool man, what an experience 🙌 Absolutely surreal

The most important thing in the sound of Kurt Cobain playing the guitar and singing are his livings and the attitude. It is not possible to imitate that cadence.

Woah this is amazing to see in 2023

So many great records from Jack. I think my fav might be TAD's Infrared Riding Hood.

So cool that you got to play on that amp! Wow im so jelly!

Amazing experience. Wow what the internet can make happen. Beautiful.

So cool. I'm extremely envious.

WOW! Was that amp still played through the g12m-70's for Bleach? Is that the cab below?

Genuinely an amazing video!

what is the song in the beginning???

How cool is that 👏🏼 congrats Aaron, super cool. Subbed.

What tune is at the beginning and what year is the twin?

That was cool of Jack! Nice dude

whats the intro song called??

Jacks a legend

Jack Endino is so OG

im keen on those bleach impulse response packs... great job Aaron

Awesome video as always

DUUUDE! THAT'S AWESOME!

I heard Albini say that this amp is a 4 tube rig, but that it was missing 3 of the 4 tubes, and this produced an "asymmetric" (his term) distorted wave form as there's only the 1 tube to provide gain. He also said Cobain used a Randal amp along with the Fender, but this might've been after Bleach. Personally I always loved the Fender clean sounds, and I owned a twin reverb, for me there is no comparison for analog distortion and solid state distortion (i.e. Randal and modern Marshall). To each their own.

You meet jack endino coool

I got this peavy 158 amp at a thrift store for 20$ and when I plugged my dads tele into it, it sounded just like bleach

Not that it's surprising but damn... thats the tone right there.

Awesome!

such a rad video, instant sub!

A lot of ppl have forgotten bleach. A lot have also not,but plenty have.

Incredible!!!! Thanks, man!!!

This amp is a holly grail 😮😮😮 awesome 🤟

Omg… I will lose my mind if I won’t find the song from the very beginning… PLS HELP me to define what song is playing from 0:00 till 0:32 😢

Yeah, that's real cool, man! You said you got goosebumps playing through it, i got goosebumps hearing it through my shitty phone speaker..lol! Right on, man! Thanks for sharing your awesome story! 🤟

What an honour.

Omg.. you are the luckiest person in the world!!!!!

This is def worth a trip

new aaron vid. today witll be lit

I’m surprised there isn’t any mention of the cab and most importantly the speakers in it, which are a massive part of the overall tone. Was the Twin Reverb run through that cab and speakers on the recording?

amazing stuff

When you gonna make the "Unplugged" tone? You need to make a 1959 Martin D18e with the Bartolini 3AV and Dearmond Dynasonic Rowe pickups. You gotta complete the collection. 🙂

Love you all... Keep it up!!

I'd love to have IR packs for Bleach. It's so hard to find studio IRs of real studios!

Dude... Surreal!!

Amazing.

I noticed there was a green light the the silver face twin and I play my dads sometimes and it’s always a red light so do you know if it’s supposed to be red or maybe he put a green light in it

Amazing. Btw where I can get that smashing pumpkins shirt?

Does the song at the intro of the video have a name ?

Cool video! And also what’s with the metal guitar?

Cool shirt homie!

I mean..it's all there.

Well done, friend.

very cool

That amp is actually a "chopped down" Fender Quad Reverb. Quad-Reverb amps did not have Tilt-Back Legs. That's why there is no evidence of Tilt-Back Leg hardware holes on the side. The side Vents were added on by a previous owner. Not original to the amp.

Whats the song in the beginning of the video?

Great video you should do a video on oasis

lol Endino schooling you on how Kurt "didn't always play that chord like that", like he was his puppeteer or something

Hey Aaron, I know you’re going to branch out to some other artists tones. I notice your pumpkins shirt in a few videos. Would you ever do some pumpkins tones?

What speakers are in Jack's amp???

MUCHAS GRACIAS

i wonder what amp setting was on this amp?

is this 4x12 cab a vintage 30 loaded

Do you by chance know what type of Ramsa mixer was used to record bleach? I have one and am getting some oddly familiar results with it I gotta say!

how do you get your guitar’s clean sound to be so loud and almost on par with the distorted sound

Hey! I might have missed it in the video but do you know what speakers are in there?

What speakers where in that amp?
