Bassassin Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I remember these - I think they made a bit more sense in the 80s. Wasn't it made from magnesium alloy, or something? I sadly never had the pleasure of me(a)ting Ms Millington but did see her thespian antics on the Big Screen in [i]Come Play With Me[/i], accompanied by a gaggle of embarrassed, awkward & wildly underage schoolmates. It failed to even raise a smirk. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 "One of the greatest bass guitars ever built"? I don't think so. The magnesium alloy they built them from was very soft, and the string retainers at the headstock apparently had the unfortunate habit of detaching under string tension.

NancyJohnson Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 A few years back I tried out a drummer for a band I was putting together. For the record, we were both raised in the same locality and although I didn't know the guy first hand, we had some mutual friends from our teens and I knew some of his mates from that period. He also employed a mate of mine for a while about ten years ago. We jammed just the once; he was a good player but it didn't work out. The story he recounted to me affirmed a rumour that had been doing the rounds donkey's years back that involved a reasonably famous celebrity couple and their son, the aforementioned Ms. Millington and one of the son's friends. 'Richard' was the friend. As soon as he told me the story, I sat there, beer in hand wide eyed and slack jawed. That's all you're getting.
