Man, I love that color with the maple neck. I hope I never see a5 string with that color combo for sale anywhere 'cause I could get myself in trouble with the wife.:hiding:

I agree that it is stunning; however, if it were a 5, I'd tell my wife that it is all I want for Christmas, and she'd be happy to know what I want and would buy it gladly. She thinks I'm difficult to buy things for.
 
Don't get me wrong, my wife is very cool about my basses it's just that she's seen me go around and around on my gear over the last few years. I'm finally in a spot where I have great gear, so I need to stop drooling over gear and start practicing more. btw I just bought a Cirrus a couple months ago and she loves it as much as I do.

I can't wait! It's a keeper and I'll finally have a decent bass again. I played for my church yesterday and had to use my friend's Conklin Groove Tools 4 - definitely not my cuppa tea. :scowl:
 
Let us know what you think about the maple board compared to the pau ferro. It'll be interesting to know if you came to the same conclusion I did about the difference in tone.

I will. It'll be interesting because I sold the other one 'cause I couldn't get into the tone of the MM pup. I think a big part of the problem was the crap amp I was playing through, but another part might just have been the pau ferro.
 
Now the wait really begins. I have my new Mill+5 sitting in it's box next to my desk, but I have to wait another hour and a half of teaching middle school math to open it! :help:

Reminds me of the great Simpsons episode "Homer Goes to College" where the Dean turns out to be the former bass player for the Pretenders (IIRC).

I spent 1 day as a substitute teacher at our junior high when I was on break from college. :help: That was the end of my (2-day) teaching career. My hat's off to you and your colleagues.


On-topic: that is a stunning bass, if anyone knows where its twin is, let me know. You just turned up my GAS for a maple necked Millennium 5.

Thanks! I enjoy the job (most of the time).

Thanks about the bass too. I'll post some pics that I took later on.
