[QUOTE="Randy Frierson, post: 497, member: 251"] So the MLA post has me thinking....Hmmmmmmm So is there any legal requirements to say bring a PA into a nightclub and rent your services? We have a guy in town that has a decent band pa and rents him and it out for $500 a night and he's doing some regional and national acts, it's our account but the venue just cant justify paying me $1,500..Of course i would bring out better gear, and a qualified sound engineer, i also would be paying my guy over 1/2 of what the other guy gets for the entire gig, my pa would require a truck and a couple hands to help my guy set it up, The $500 guy has a couple powered mackie fusions over a 2x18 sub and 4 passive mixes from foh using a AHB...system does not give the concert experience but its OK for that room and bands will use it...i would bring in as a min 2 PPA 312's over 2 PPA Tour subs (per side) or Meyer Melodie ground stacked over 600hp's, SC 48 with 4 mixes of EV XW12a wedges with a powered drum box. most importantly i have general liability, workers comp and a city and state license..I believe my company charges a fair rate and delivers excellent service but day in and day out we lose to the above guy..I was young once and that is my problem i guess...should i make a stink? I'm not going to match his price so what else is there.....just thoughts [/QUOTE]
