EDIT I just realised our lead singer went to see you guys in Camberley I think, she was very impressed. I'm also in a Floyd tribute trio - Rethink Floyd.

Highfox Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1430478789' post='2761784'] I really like that. Good job. [/quote] Me too. and the tapped note was sweet. I did wonder a few months back when you said you had problems in the band and that they were thinking of outing you, how they would ever find a decent replacement.

Bassistclem Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I dep for probably the original tribute band Magic (kind of queen/Elo), these guys have been going since the 70s and still going strong. Also played for Off The Wall, pink floyd as well as an Abba show. There may be a bit of a stigma amongst some muso's about tribute bands but have come across some quality bands/singers over the years. Want to see the steely dan tribute band at some point, heard they're great, believe the bass player is on basschat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
