mars_hall Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Mildred arrived today from Gitfiddler. I am in love with her! As well you should be. I need one

Which amp did you plug into. WE WANT SOUND CLIPS!!!! I didn't strap it on, but I played it on my lap. Yes Mildred did a lap dance on me. She is surprisingly heavier than I thought she would be, but again, I only tried Spectrum13's about a year ago and do not remember it. Since I was upstairs and the wifey wanted to hear her, I plugged her into my lil Peavey Express 112, and even through that transtube amp, she has a wide range of tones and sounds. As Spectrum13 pointed out to me earlier today, Millie's are great for jazz tones and I couldn't agree more. But there is plenty of snarl in her also when you crank up the pots. And she sustains and sustains. Koula-never did sound clips before- would be happy to, but I need a tutorial.
Millennium Maestro Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Congrats... I have been keeping the eyes out for another 155 but... Money is harder to come up with and 155s are kinda hard to find. My dream is a trans black w/nat back.
High Flying Bird Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I was going to ask you to send it this way but after the lap dance comment I think I will just admire the Mille from afar.

koula901 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Will, I've always enjoyed this video. He gets a ton of tones out that thing: I like it when he gets all Brent on ya at about 2:46

My dream is a trans black w/nat back. I hear ya Guy, I was very lucky that Tim was willing to part with this Git. I have been noticeing myself that they are just not available unless you order one.

skydog52 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Man-can that guy pick or what! I am not worthy. That's funny. That was one of mine. I traded it in on another build. He can play! He got a lot more out of it than I ever could.
Gitfiddler Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Will, you are VERY deserving of that sweet 155/Millie! I think she is in the 8 lb range, but seemed lighter when strapped on. She is as gorgeous as ever, lying prone in that photo, but 'Mildred' has a lot of attitude and snarl in her, so don't piss her off!! I will miss her, but glad she is in a good home. Enjoy, my friend.
JeffB Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Nice guitar!! Congrats on that one. That guy in the vid! great demo of what you can get out of the guitar aside from what you might it can/should do.

So did her skinny little neck finally turn you off?
rjmajik Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Great looker! Congrats. I agree, you don't see them very often on the used market.
Gitfiddler Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 So did her skinny little neck finally turn you off? Wellllllllll...it kinda did. But I can adjust to about any neck. This was a VERY difficult decision. That Millie (I mean Mildred) could do jazz, rock, RnB like no other. I'm just happy she stayed in the HOC family. Also, we worked out a mutually advantageous pre-Christmas deal.
wildwing Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 What a gorgeous looking guitar and if it sounds anything like the video posted.....I'm in love!! Lol!!
