| Bjorn's Fender Bass Guitars & Carvin 5-string Basses are all equipped with Hipshot Tuners & Bass Xtenders, strung with Mari Strings, picked with 3 fingers or Dunlop Guitar Picks and connected with Spectraflex Cables to EBS Pedals & Amplification Systems 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. Fender Bjorn is a fan of great sounding "organic" basses and has therefore played Fender basses since 1989. His 2 main basses are his 2008 Jazz Deluxe and his 2003 modified P-Bass. It's a great company to work with. Stay tuned for pictures and updates ! Carvin Carvin makes the best 5-string basses! Hipshot D-tuners Who needs a 5-string ??
