Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame 2,536 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It was over by the Suitland Federal Center, pretty early in the morning. Silver Hill and 5 or Silver Hill and 414....On an SUV if I remember correctly.Actually, I don't remember if it was even on a Maryland license plate. There are enough military folk working here it could have been any state, so it might not actually have been you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cmatthes 20,350 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Guess that wasn't mine - I don't go anywhere near Suitland, and my tags aren't on an SUV. I know there's a PA plate with that in the Harrisburg area, but maybe you saw a VA plate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know there's a PA plate with that in the Harrisburg area, but maybe you saw a VA plate?I can't remember. Quite possibly was. I certainly don't remember it being Maryland.For that matter, it could even have been Florida or Texas, I see those all the time in the area, among other out-of-state plates, due to Andrews AFB being right across I-95, and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling being close by, too.

Michael_B 4,188 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You may have seen something like this before, but it was the first time I remember seeing it: on TGP someone was advertising a "Road Worn" Strat as being in like new condition. I don't think he was trying to be funny. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame 2,536 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 For me, at least, "didn't bond with it" actually means "there's some other guitar that has attracted my attention and I've talked myself into letting this one go to get the cash for the other one". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cmatthes 20,350 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Or it usually means, "well I don't like it enough to keep it, but honesty might kill my sale".For me, at least, "didn't bond with it" actually means "there's some other guitar that has attracted my attention and I've talked myself into letting this one go to get the cash for the other one".

Jumping to mind are a couple of PRSs that I picked up in a guns-for-guitars trade. Something about their esthetics turns me off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame 2,536 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The inspiration for my comment regarding "bonding" was the fact that I'm buying back a Cali Elite that, at the time of selling, I claimed I didn't bond with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LucSulla 6,384 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sometimes it takes awhile to find the right niche for them as well. The Standard I was going to sell wound up being a metal machine, but I did really know that until I got to play it through an amp that was really opened up. I don't own another guitar that is as balanced and articulate but still totally nasty at high volume and gain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame 2,536 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Now that I have a virtually perfect shredder stable, replete with ebony fretboards, stainless steel frets, extended fret quantities, great tone, some rarities, and trems that stay in tune for weeks, I suddenly feel the need to start working on jazz chord shapes, comping, and chord-melody standards. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caddie 1,907 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I just joined a country band. I think I am going to play my standard in it as my main ax because it's about time someone played country on a standard. ...or played rock on a standard in key and tempo with a country band that happens to be playing at the same time. Ha! Done that: At the time I was thinking how playing in a rock band would be waaaay better. You are one bad ass lookin mofo. Little sneer, nerdy glasses, black curled up hat. Where's the swirly gig with the bottle of Schlitz? Stay thirsty my friend. Cheers! Noonan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
