I have been playing bass for a number of years (more than I care to count) in various bands and also writing songs. Favorite bass players are: Jaco (of course), Jack Bruce, John Entwhistle, Billy Sheehan, Michael Anthony, Duck Dunn, Cliff Williams, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (yeah I know, confusing mix).
My bass style is simple and solid and i like to throw in the odd thing here and there to keep you on your toes. I cannot play funk/slap style bass at all. I use fingers when required and a pick when required and alternate between Squier Precision and Jazz basses (who can afford a Fender??) - whatever sounds best for the song - but always with Rotosound strings and Ampeg amps.
I wish I could sing... my vocal range is A flat to... A flat... (in the same octave)
I like playing live a whole lot more than recording, but also enjoy recording.
As you see from the videos below, the priority is having fun.
Bjorn (rhymes with learn) keep up the good work my friend..always a pleasure to work with you.

Bjorn- when you get a chance, let me know how you hold down a job and still manage to be as prolific as you are on kompoz. How do you streamline your setup? Thanks - cyclingtroll
