I am in a 5 piece gigging band. We are losing one of our guitarists who also owns the sound system (he did not receive additional compensation for this system or for the running of it). We have a backup system owed by the other guitarist. He now wants to receive 10% of every gig to cover "expenses". He seems to have a wide range of what that covers. I am happy to help with any repairs/replacements needed for the sound system but don't think that 10 % of every gig is the way to handle this. I will add that we gig about 2x a month so we are not talking large contract sums per gig. Anyone run into this situation? Any suggestions?
