OK, if a guitar player joins a band, presumably s/he has a guitar. But-- who pays for an instrument mic or pickup, and the 1/4" or XLR cable, mic stand(s), amp, mixer, speaker(s), monitors....... how does your band handle all this purchasing, and do you have a policy about what brand/quality/specs everyone is expected to bring to the party? And where does all the stuff LIVE-- who maintinas storage/inventory...?

Hardi's and I have become our band's supply sergeant-- maybe there's another approach.....
