THIS IS A MADE UP TOPIC, AND THE PRICES QUOTED ARE ALSO MADE UP.
So someone calls you to do a disco, and says the fee is £200. You take the booking, and find out that the person who gave you the work charged £450.
Do you do anything about it ?

Good point, no banking on Friday then, just paperwork at home then.

TBH I can't remember the last cheque I wrote, a parking ticket I think !
Accountant software is QuickBooks 2006 at present, although looking for something that works on a Mac.
QB is quite good, you can have multiple companies, I have four companies set up on it at the moment. What do you use ?

I think I know where you are coming from. There is nothing wrong with the budget end of the market, but it's a bit like people who choose to buy shirts from Asda and shirts with designer lablels. I never got that, always bought on price until I bought a designer shirt. Four years later it was still going strong. There is something to be said for looking at quality brands.
To be honest, that was why I made the comment to Robin earlier about trying my SM58. There is a really noticable difference and it certainly isn't anything to do with brand snobbery. Pay more and you generally get more.
My residency (sorry Robin, you'll be fine!) has Kan twin decks installed. First night I decided to use CD's and not the laptop and the venue manager caught me at the end of the night to ask why the tracks had skipped and stopped a few times. Because although I try to look after my CD's, they have a set of budget CD decks. I own Denon DND4000's and have never once had a CD skip on me. Don't we try to tell our clients that "you get what you pay for"?
That said, I would be the first to hold my hand up and say I can't always afford the best - especially as this pays for my food and mortgage! That's why I guess I am asking for more expensive options that I might be able to find 2nd hand.
Thanks again for the advice....keep em coming
Exactly !
BTW Ralph Lauren shirts for me

There are three levels of equipment as I see it
Amateur, such as Chauvet, KAM etc
Professional quality - Behringer etc
High End - A&H etc
That doesn't mean that anyone using KAM is ameuterish, just not using higher end equipment
Anyway back to the question if you want a cheap and cheerful wireless mic try the AKG WMS40 series, if you have a little more dosh look at the Sennheiser EW range.
-
I, too have never had, or going to have anything with KAM written on it.
Snobbery - Probably.
I run a quality professional company using professional quality equipment.
You get what you pay for. Spend more on your equipment and cry only once.....

OK, so we were having a family day out at The British Open Horse Championships on Friday 17th April, the family being me, wife, two daughters, and the eldest daughters boyfriend.
Unfortunately Jill, our eldest daughter had a bad accident last week, she fell off her horse, and had to be airlifted to Devon's main hospital with spinal injuries. For the next few days we didn't know whether she would be able to walk again, luckily she has gained all feelings back, and despite not being able to walk at present, she will eventually be able to get back to normal, and start riding again.
However for the next 3 months she will be slowly trying to get out of the bed, she is lying flat at present.
Therefore the British Open in Birmingham will not be in her diary, so I have two tickets if anyone would like to buy them off me, they are for the Friday, all day, from 0600hrs to finish at 2230hrs approx.
Please call me on 0797 0717 448 rather than PM me, as I running around a little at present.
