That makes em worth .8 cents. Nearly a penny, but not quite.
Wanna-be vocalists are a dime a gross, so they are worth .07 cents.
So what do you think other musicians are worth monetarily?
Just for kicks and grins. |

| | I don't think, but I still am. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: So. Cali | | I'd say bassists are worth 1000 dollars a pop.
But that include "high maintenence fees", inferiority complex insurance, GAS insurance, and the waitlist cost because there is constant demand. 
And remember, this thread is for kicks and giggles.

Saxaphoners: 3 pennies each. Sometimes necessary, but there are so many that you don't have to pay 'em much.
Trumpet: a quarter if they're good. If they're in the crappy highschool band then give 'em a penny.
Tuba: worth nothing to a rock band or anything involving a bass guitar. We own the bassline. to anyone else: $500 if they're good. |

Avg Tubist = 300 lbs
Cost per ounce of gold = $620
Total cost for Tubist if they were worth their weight in gold = $2976000 |
