better be a session musician!!! we used few session musicians and i was jealous as on 50 days tour at £200 a day they were making good money , when i had to struggle all the time

if you wanna make money out of music need to be a solo artist, something that does involve lots of expenses I was lucky enough to get sign with my band by 3 labels vagrant U S , sony australia , and Dirty hit UK Now we spend 3 years touring with full band . sound guy , light ing, tour manager and guitar tech ! we play venue size of 1.000/3.000 , fees are about a grand per night , now when you pay £100 guitar tech, £200 sound man,£150 light ing,£150 manager then hotel cost , petrol , pds, bus rental , you pretty much end up in debit!then you make some money from merchandising , which of course label as a %, we are lucky as we are on 50-50 deal!. cut things short , i could have earned more if i would have worked! good things if you are a solo artist , you can avoid all this cost and actually make some money!

ahahah ! im gonna order one! i ve contacted them and if u order 3 you get a 15% discount! not bad

tuning a bass is becoming really expensive these days? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Behringer-Chromatic-Tuner-Pedal-Guitar-Bass-Gig-Tuning-Practice-Portable-Tone-/111523713125?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Access_RL&hash=item19f754d065
