Jørn "Necrobutcher" Stubberud

Necrobutcher plays the Epiphone Les Paul Special bass these days in most Mayhem live gigs. This bass isn't his original Les Paul bass from the '90s though. In the '90s he used to use a Gibson Les Paul Special bass.

In this image Jørn can be seen playing his (at the time) main bass guitar, an Export bass manufactured by the Pearl Guitar Company, often mistaken for an Epiphone Genesis bass, but can easily be identified as the Export by looking at the shape of the headstock which is squared off compared to the curvy Epiphone headstock, as well as the presence of binding along the fretboard which the Genesis lacks.

Necrobutcher uses the early '90s era Gibson Les Paul Special bass. This bass is his original Les Paul bass from 90's.
