As I've said before, the fellowship and genuine care for one another here is something special. However, I know that doesn't pay the bills! The fact you are still without an instrument is downright unthinkable! I don't know the answer, but will support you in what you decide. My resources are limited (aw hell, non existant!) with no job or income for the past six years, but I've been blessed by several here and hope to be able to reciprocate in some way. Hang in there bro! Thank you for bringing this up again and please keep doing so. I will do my best to send some $$ when I can. Even though the traffic has been light, this is the first place I check when I log on. Perhaps we can list pedals, parts, etc that are no longer being used and have the proceeds go directly to the Diner? I'm going to the parts box to check right now! d511e3ca00da779ce46eeab2f1a1844c May 23, 2013, 12:18 PM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561495;do=post_view;page=unread#561495 It seems like just yesterday you posted this. Has it been a year already? I hate to see it go but there really isn't much traffic. I'll miss it if only for the "Caption This" posts... ---------------------------------------------------------------- I was hit by a parked car, what's your excuse? 24f1c994594c467f60a83843f4abf282 May 23, 2013, 11:04 AM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561494;do=post_view;page=unread#561494 You sure come up with some funny stuff! bfeb52f0ec5a0bf731ccadd2c72fd053 May 22, 2013, 9:37 PM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561493;do=post_view;page=unread#561493 eb1ccd7bc08ab166bd177b747983b0e0 May 22, 2013, 9:01 PM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561492;do=post_view;page=unread#561492 VladTheImpaler wrote: The death penalty should never be used.

But supposing it was non-negotiable that there was going to be a death penalty at all... there ought to be a separate standard of "guilty" on which to apply it. And, I think the exercise would lead to a natural conclusion...

Guess those days are long gone. Looks like you CAN be too old to rock and roll. I'll miss this place. aa8e8c7784f7bb2046006dd6b6ef812a May 22, 2013, 6:45 PM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561489;do=post_view;page=unread#561489 3b910a7b779e9b55931fa976c1011c1a May 22, 2013, 6:40 PM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561488;do=post_view;page=unread#561488 There is more traffic, if you can call it that, in the Grill Room than here. The traffic here mostly consists of my Happy Birthday posts and Caption This. No one stepped up to help with the techy stuff and no one is bringing in new blood. The 'atta boys' and 'thanks' just aren't enough, after almost eleven years, to keep me motivated. Hell, I'm still without an instrument! Our domain needs to be renewed in August and another donation drive would be needed to stay open. If someone wants to keep the doors open, shoot me a PM. It makes me sad to post this but I think the Diner has used up its fifteen minutes of fame. I know this has been home for many of you and sort of my security blanket. This was a joyous group with lots to say. Now there's just a few of us left and no one has much to say that hasn't already been said. Without some serious reasons from the members and an infusion of cash I can't see why we shouldn't close the doors at the end of the month. On the other hand, maybe I just need to adjust my meds and build a grow room or move to a State where secondary meds are legal to possess and grow! All of the above aside, I'd rather not give up and fade away into that good night. There are still great people here! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Boomer The ice cream truck on my street plays Helter Skelter! 121e6f50254c306e25eed75f2a7c775c May 22, 2013, 6:02 PM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561486;do=post_view;page=unread#561486 In addition to the lack of reverb, there is one less preamp gain stage in the non-verb Princeton. So the amp feels different and sounds cleaner (less gain). Nice little amps if you want a nice clean little sound. We have a Princeton Reverb Recording amp and I think it's a great little amp. The bigger box adds some girth to the tone, as compared to a standard PR or nonverb P. It doesn't really sound just like those old school amps. It doesn't quite have the same tone, but it does sound very good if you ask me. The built in Power Soak, effects, and effects loop make for a versatile grab and go amp, or as in our case, a perfectly good living room/bedroom amp. With all that stuff built in it is heavier than a standard PR. Of course it's got a printed circuit board vs the Pt. to Pt wiring of the old school amps, so it's a different beast if you want to do you own amp work, or have an old school amp guy work on it. --TS Coasting along (doing nothing) in his new role as an admin and hoping to keep it that way! dd1aa50c4bd99fa15c495071580fd877 May 22, 2013, 2:28 PM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561485;do=post_view;page=unread#561485 2 bad he dint lern 2 spel gud. 1b71b5156acc08f2738a9b18683d410c May 22, 2013, 7:30 AM http://guitardiner.com/cgi-bin/newforum/gforum.cgi?post=561484;do=post_view;page=unread#561484 no , we are expanding a mining operation by adding conveyers and crushers to the worlds Largest Ball-Mill ...

But it does have trem and a popular mod is to toss the trem and add a gain stage. And the real good news is that like all Fenders, OK most, it will take pedals just fine so no reverb may not be much of a handicap. There are zillions of Fenders and few are museum bound. It's your amp, do what you like - - FTW and the amp nazis ! Every Fender I've mod'ed sounded better for it. And if it's got the usual SF crap speaker in it get a decent speaker before you do anything else.

Because while she was convicted, and I don't have a problem with her conviction, I think it is possible that new information could overturn the conviction. And if she's dead... well, that's a problem. Death penalties should only be applied when there is no reasonable expectation that new information could overturn the verdict. When you pretty much have all the information already. But no one was there. No one saw the murder. Is that a fuzzy and very hard to judge line? Yes it is. But it's better than nothing.
