NAMM – First EBS NAMM 2024 Events Announced!

We are ready to rock the NAMM SHOW once again.

You will see new products released, and more artist events, but there is also plenty of time to check out gear and hang out with EBS staff, artists, and friends worldwide. Not to mention, a chance to win an EBS MultiComp Blue Label compressor pedal (more details at the EBS booth, 5441). Today we present the first two events…

Metalheads’ Bass Gear Hang with
Steve DiGiorgio & Bjorn Englen

We invite all metalheads and bass players to gather around the campfire at the EBS NAMM booth with seasoned bass players Steve DiGiorgio and Bjorn Englen to talk about bass gear in metal. 

Both are long-time EBS artists with experience from numerous tours and recording sessions with metal and hard rock royalties like Testament, Megadeth, Death, Uli Jon Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen, Quiet Riot, and more.  

The event will happen at the EBS booth (5441) on Friday, January 26, from 1 PM to 2 PM.

Note: This is not a signing event but an invitation to gather insights and tips about gear and bass playing in metal and rock music from these two artists and staff from EBS. A separate signing with Steve, Bjorn, and Marten Andersson from Lita Ford’s band will happen on Saturday at 3 PM (see details below).

About the hosts:

Steve DiGiorgio, the current bass player for Testament, is an exceptional musician known for bringing the fretless bass into metal. Not only has he contributed his bass skills to the latest Testament and Megadeth albums, but left his mark on several recordings with the legendary Death too, keeping their legacy alive through touring with Death DTA. In addition to his main commitments, Steve collaborates and records with numerous other artists. His exceptional musicianship has led him to become an EBS amp & pedal artist and the release of his signature bass model by Ibanez.

Bjorn Englen, the Soul Sign and Dio Returns bass player is renowned for his musical prowess and versatility. He is not only a sought-after instructor at the esteemed Rock’n’Roll Fantasy Camp, but also a touring companion of guitar virtuosos Yngwie Malmsteen, Uli Jon Roth, and Tony MacAlpine, as well as the iconic metal group Quiet Riot, amongst others. Additionally, Bjorn imparts his knowledge through bass master classes/clinics at esteemed institutions like the Musicians Institute and Los Angeles College of Music. He is continuously engaged in numerous recording sessions and has performed on over 60 albums. Bjorn is a long-time EBS artist and ambassador.
