RE: "Many times I have been hired to play the string bass primarily and allowed to play the tuba with no extra remuneration."

I find myself in this position as well. I debate that: its good to get out there and keep playing but doesn't it set a bad precedent for people not to pay you for the second ax. I'm sure once they hear the tuba they like it, but wouldn't want to pay for it anyway... I find it very rewarding to play both instruments but all the schlepping(sp?) is a real turn off. Is there a payoff I don't see here?
