[QUOTE="Tom Manchester, post: 123137, member: 82"] Re: Price check in Aisle 5 $800-1000 seems to be the magic breaking point to where things like labor, transport, and gear are line itemed and paid for. Below about that value I have found its simply a matter of what someone is willing to bring out, and whatever gear is needed to make this show happen for a flat rate. $800-1000 is also the amount you'll pay for a reliability. A $300 sound guy might have to bail on you last minute and leave you scrambling for a replacement. At $800+ I can guarantee a high quality PA in full working condition, liability insurance, a decent truck, AND if I have to bail on you last minute, I can call anyone on my list to cover, who will do as good a job as I would. I'll do a gig for <$800, but it has to be a day I'm absolutely certain nothing else is going on, and it's going to be an 01V and some JBL PRX. otherwise it's not worth my time. [/QUOTE]
