Sorry for getting the wrong end of the Joanna!😬
I used to play with a guy who now fronts Purple Zeppelin - so he morphs from Gillan/Coverdale to Plant (who he most resembles) at half time…😉
I use my VM when I need a variety of possibilities - especially in venues I am unfamiliar with. It’s the only active I own. If it had the character of my Fenders it wouldn’t be so useful.
The ones we have done ticketed have been a 50-50 split and 65-35 after deduction of costs which probably comes to about the same thing.
So there are rewards, but in publicity terms we had to work hard to get them.
