A few more

Abraham Laboriel

[burk48237]

And yet a few more, Abraham is such an expressive player, uncommon at NAMM demo's, but the man just plan loves to play.

Cool, but this doesn't belong in OT, no?

I don't know, I kind of posted more for the photography aspects of it, then just documentary aspects.

Doesn't bother me either way, but I think I'd put it in Bassists, or if here in OT then in the TB photography thread maybe. Nice shots in any case.

I believe its a 34" scale, it just was shot with an 8-16 super wide angle in close quarters. The sharpness of that lens boggles the mind.

Hanging around NAMM for a few days can be an incredibly humbling experience. There are hoardes of great musicians out there. Hoardes of wankers also. Intereting to see how absolutely uininspiring wanking can be, when you see some of the true greats playing in a booth right next to them. Lots of dudes and gals can play a bazillion notes a minute. More than I ever imagined. Very few can make it sound interesting for more than 20 seconds.

Hey Burke. Good meeting you bro.
