| | | | Yep, there's players like Abe and then there's the mere mortals like me!
Did he use to play with Hillsong? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else? |

| | | | I usually won't sit through 13 minutes of anything on YouTube, but this - he's like a one-man band on bass!

KIDDING(sort of). Abe is insane- too bad he doesn't get into it at all.

| | | | I've seen him w/ Koinania like 20x's. He is simple amazing. What else is amazing is he (or Berry Oakley) are usually not on people's YouTube top 10 basses, but Gene Simmons is? |

Abe Laboriel is a great performer, he just happens to play an excellent bass guitar.

I posted a thread a while back about players so good they make you want to give up.....this guy is at the top of my list. If they locked me in a room with a bass for 50 years and I lived that long....no way. When Abe was born God touched him and said 'bass'.
