Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth Bass Guitar, Ovation Magnum I
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Cleveland, United States
Bassist, guitarist and vocalist Kim Gordon is a founding member of the New York-based experimental rock band Sonic Youth. This Ovation Magnum I was her main bass from 1983 to 1987, used on Sonic Youth's first three albums, Confusion Is Sex (1983), Bad Moon Rising (1985) and EVOL (1986). Gordon stripped down the bass's complicated electronics, removing the original pickups and stereo circuitry and replacing them with just the essentials needed for her sound.
