Eden Endorsee Abe Laboriel, Sr.

Bass Frontiers online features Eden Endorser Abe Laboriel, Sr. in a 2 Part Video Interview

Abraham Laboriel, Sr. has played on over 4,000 recordings and soundtracks. Wrapping your head around that is a steep concept. Laboriel actually began as a guitarist before switching to bass during his tenure at Berklee College of Music.

Since then, his career has included recordings with Donald Fagen, Stevie Wonder, Billy Cobham, Elton John, Ray Charles, Madonna, Paul Simon, Herbie Hancock, Dolly Parton, and Michael Jackson, among a ridiculous amount of others. Oh, and he recorded three solo albums with knockout casts. Laboriel still plays live with the band Open Hands with Justo Almario, Greg Mathieson, and Bill Maxwell.

Lincoln Center Theater's multi-million dollar Broadway production of Pedro Almodóvar's "Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown" using Eden.

When it came time to choose gear for the pit orchestra's bass player, Brian Hamm, Music Coordinator Dean Sharenow chose Eden. Brian is utilizing a WTX500 paired with a D112XLT for the Broadway production of "Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown" which opened November 4th at the Lincoln Center Theater. The musical is slated to run Tuesdays - Sundays through mid January.

"...we are blown away by the rig. I have never heard such clarity and punch from a 12" cabinet, and the juice from the WTX-500 is sweet and potent", says Dean. Of course we already knew that.
