Depends on your "market". In areas that have a lot of job opportunities and a limited supply of musicians, the musician can charge more (obviously). It also depends on the mentality of the community. Some places (most I would think) tell you what the job pays, and you take it or leave it. My 5tet gets $750 for a standing Easter gig. Me thinks this would pay alot better outside the small-town Bible-belt area.
