Carvin
Carvin makes bass guitars with fantastic tone, design and durability! All made in the USA!
Bjorn plays Carvin SB- & Icon series 4-, 5-string and fretless basses.



Mari Strings
Daniel Mari's father was the founder of LaBella Strings, and Daniel used to custom make strings for greats such as The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. Daniel is truly a master of string making and his factory manufactures strings for any string instrument you can imagine ! Bjorn has played Mari Strings since 1997, and strings his electric and acoustic guitars with them as well. He strings all his basses with the Spiral 2000 gauged .045, .065, .085, .105. These strings as well as the even gauge gives him even tension through out the neck as well as a strong, versatile and longlasting sound.


EBS
EBS Sweden has made great professional bass equipment for nearly 20 years. The high quality of their amps and speakers truly meets Bjorn's needs for loudness, dynamics, character, portability and versatility. Bjorn uses various combinations of the 350 Watt hybrid head HD 350, the 650 Watt tube definition head TD 650 and the 600 Watt tube armed Fafner with 6x10", 8x10" or 2x10" (w/ tweeter) cabinets, and EBS Black Label Effects Pedals to get the perfect sound, power, flexibility and portability suited for each show or recording session. Bjorn also uses The EBS Micro Bass II Pre-amp/DirectBox for recording, rehearsals and even liveshows when needed.


Hipshot D-tuners
With the simple flick of a switch you can tune your E-string to a D or as low as a C !  Bjorn has used them on his basses since 1991. They come in chrome, black or gold, are easy to install and are available for almost all models of basses. A great investment !  Bjorn also uses Hipshot
Ultra Lites Bass Tuning Machines to reduce weight and to balance his basses.


Spectraflex
is the most flexible, practical and reliable instrument cable on the market.
