Your experiences of playing in a tribute band.

I joined a startup Iron Maiden tribute last year with little to no knowledge of the band’s music. I've really enjoyed the process of learning the material and getting the show together and have also gained massive respect for Steve Harris! -
I bought a bass from Alex and he was a pleasure to deal with! Very easy sale and it was packed carefully for shipping.
