Notes
Studio recording, Nevermind album sessions, 1991. Krist Novoselic used the Gibson RD Artist Bass for both studio and live performances of 'Territorial Pissings'.
Tone Character(9)
aggressive pick attackclanky upper midsgrinding, buzzy distortiontight low endslightly scooped midsraw and presentraspy edgepunchy and cuttingnotably overdriven but not fuzzed out
Difficulty
The part is physically demanding due to tempo and pick attack, but musically straightforward with mostly root notes and punk-style rhythm. The main challenge is keeping articulation and note separation with a heavily overdriven tone.
