"A bass guitar smashed in Nirvana&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Smells Like Teen Spirit&amp;#039; video is set to be sold for up to \u00C2\u00A325,000. The bass, belonging to the band&amp;#039;s Krist Novoselic, is smashed in the famous video for their 1991 breakthrough single.  The Independent reports that Christie&amp;#039;s in London will auction the remnants of the instrument off in an entertainment memorabilia auction, where the auctioneer estimates the guitar will sell for \u00C2\u00A315k to \u00C2\u00A325k. The bass was originally bought by Novoselic in a pawn shop prior to the promo shoot in the knowledge that he would destroy it during filming. The remains of the guitar were salvaged by one of the teenage extras in the video. Other items in the auction will include Indiana Jones&amp;#039;s whip and the Holy Grail used in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, alongside Bob Dylan&amp;#039;s high school yearbook. This week it was claimed that Cobain&amp;#039;s widow Courtney Love is planning a Nirvana-themed Broadway musical.
