That's nothing. I met Mary Millington in 1978 and she was one of the most gifted women I have ever met. I was so taken aback with her talent that I [i]personally[/i] commissioned a hand-job from her, the last one she ever administered.

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.

"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.

I have a jaw-dropping story about the late Ms. Millington that to this day leaves me wide-eyed when I think about it. It's way too naughty to produce here.

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.
