From Our Research Team:

Distinctively Different Bass

The Gibson Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass is different. Considering Novoselic's intensely creative bass work with Nirvana and his impact on the sound of contemporary rock, it's fitting that Gibson has produced this instrument to stoke your alternative-rock sensibilities. You get a comfy, nitro-finished maple offset RD body and set neck with a fast, 20-fret obeche fingerboard. Twin Seymour Duncan Bass Lines Hot Stack pickups serve up tight, focused single-coil sound, noiselessly. If you're looking for something distinctively "different" in a great-playing (and sounding) bass, look no further than the Gibson Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass.



Gibson Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass at a Glance:
  • Look different
  • Sound different
  • Be different

Look different
In the Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass, Gibson gives you a uniquely appointed instrument. The reverse offset RD body style (first introduced by Gibson in the '70) is very confortable and balanced - and it looks incredible. Juicy nitro lacquer highlights the slick ebony finish, along with black Speed Knobs and a black 5-ply pickguard.

Sound different
The Gibson Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass serves up tight, focused sound. Several factors are at work here, including a body and set neck of solid maple, strings-through-body construction, gently back-angled headstock, PLEK-cut Corian nut, and single-coil pickups. The pair of Seymour Duncan Hot Stack pickups gives you the tight bass sound of single-coils, with the noise-canceling characteristics of humbuckers - the best of both worlds.

Be different
The Gibson Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass is a bass for iconoclasts. In the electric bass world, you have your dyed-in-the-wool P- and J-bass players - and everyone else. It takes guts to stand out from the crowd (like Krist Novoselic), but that's what it's all about: the will to be different. How about it?
