I did plenty of "buy on" tours, the gigs throughout the rest of the year paid for them. My biggest regret is that we were offered the chance to support The Scorpions out in Prague, in a 20,000 capacity stadium and it would have been 2000 euros, it would have been a great experience, well worth my share of the fee.

That's the key bit in bold though, bands should be trying to sell tickets and promoting the night independently. the second there's a minimum ticket sales required followed by the band making up any shortfall is when the problems appear.

I do agree with the Squier thing, but for your average 4-piece you still need a drum kit and a bass as well, as a minimum, and potentially another guitar+amp. Obviously it can be done for well under 5k, but where you could kit an entire 5-a-side football team with cheap-ish kit for 500 quid, that's 1 person's worth of gigging equipment - Squier Strat, second hand VC30 or something, some reliable cables and a pedal of 2.
