That actually took about an hr of combined time with site slowdown to fix this journal. Blech.

You guys need to put out a bit of a feeler for how much you guys first amps will be with necropolis. I might be interested.

Somewhere in the 1k to 1,300 bucks category probably... the cost of this thing is higher than I expected by a lot.

let me know when you get a price and a start fee to commission building one. I think I will buy one.

definitely...

I am getting Serial 00 or 01, depending on if Eric finishes his prototype first or not... then I know Tim wanted #13 if he was serious or if he's still interested

I would want #3

Serial number 3 is definitely doable. And thanks for splitting this thread for me. I really appreciate it.

The main things holding us back are:
1) Lack of a finished schematic
2) Lack of a component layout
3) Lack of funds

Once we get the first two finished, the second isn't going to be a problem. I'm already planning to start buying necessary components so once we have everything else figured out I can get started immediately.

I'm also working on some designs for speaker cabinets. I definitely prefer head/cab setups to combos, but if anyone would want a combo, I think I can probably make one of those. But I don't want to jump ahead of myself on this.

By the way... I had a dream either last night or the other night (not sure) where I had a finished version of this and it was the greatest amp in the entire world.

Every song has a chord progression as a framework. There's no point doing crazy modal licks unless you're playing over the correct framework. There's no point writing a melody unless there's a framework to play it over. There's no point to doing anything without a defined progression. It all builds from there.

My new project is going to be insane. I have realized so much about music. There is more to music than anyone could ever know in their entire lifetime. There are a limitless amount of possibilities and I intend on exploring every single one I can.

Today is my last day in Georgia. We'll be driving home starting at about 10 AM tomorrow. Its been a good trip. I wish I didn't have to deal with bank crap or have to threaten to sue the post office (interesting story actually), but its been certainly more relaxing than life has been back home lately.

I filed a change of address form online. The post office charged a refundable $1 charge to my bank account as a form of verification. When I authorized it about two weeks ago, there was money in my account to cover it. I wrote it in my ledgers and planned around that. It would not have resulted in an overdraft. Because I'm on unemployment, I frequently overdraft my account because I don't have enough money to live most of the time if I don't, unfortunately. I expect this and plan for it. However, it didn't post until a few days ago, well beyond a reasonable span of time., so there was not enough money to cover it at that time. It resulted in an overdraft fee that I was not planning for. Since it is a refundable authorization charge, the post office is responsible for covering the fee. Both my bank and the law (to my knowledge) agree with that statement. If they refuse, I told them I will take further action, which will mean I can recover the $1, the $34 fee, ALL of my overdraft fees from the past two weeks that resulted from my account being $34 poorer (upwards of $200), court and attorney fees, and "emotional damages" from the stress of having to spend time on this.

Naturally, I'm bluffing. I'm not actually expecting to take this to court, nor do I think I'd win if I did unless my lawyer was amazing, regardless of whether they are truly responsible for the charge or not (which I'm pretty sure they are). I'm hoping they won't call it and I'll get my $35 that I'm entitled to. Otherwise, lame.

Hahaha. That's awesome.

Hi.

**Rainer.** · 08-14-2009, 01:29 PM

I tend to lean towards really odd chords when I play. 7s and 9s abound with the occasional 11 and 13.

It would be so much the money I would be worried about, but the effect on your credit score. Have a safe trip back.

Not really. It sounds a lot more awesome than it is.

Hello.

I lean towards playing melodic licks or one string constantly and occasionally working in two note intervals or three note chords. I almost never play full chords, and if I fret one out, its because I'm going to be arpeggiating it.

My credit is already down the tubes. I'm not too worried about how much lower it could get. Right now I have to survive. I can worry about that when I have stable employment.

I think I am going to start learning hybrid picking.

Also, I'm back from my trip finally.

Eric, I'm here to remind you that next year (I know this year isn't going to happen) but next year your presence WILL be at AWA. Steph and I are going as Chi Chi and Goku, respectively, my friend Myles is going as Hercule, and my friend Brandon is going as Vegeta (pink shirt vegeta).

Oh crap.

Basically, I don't go to cons anymore though. I'm really not into the whole anime scene as much as I am other things, so my money as a general rule of thumb gets spent on non-con-related events. If I find myself with extra cash and time then yes, definitely.

Unless its a company expense. We should be selling well next year. Right?

Lol, we could do a limited anime printed tolex run. We could have a Beck one and a Re:Play one...haha, that would sell.
