i did a search and came up with one finding from 2000. so thought i would ask cause i was curious!
does anyone else name their bass(es). Ive always done it and know a few people who name their guitars... but my cousin thought it was wierd? is it just my friends and i?
I have:
Mo'oh (acoustic)
Kaleb (peavey dyna-bass)
Pauline (carlo robelli [home made fretless])
Melissa (ibanez semi-hollow)
and
Blue (an old squier)

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Boston | | | Mary Anne is my ol' reliable P bass. Not named after anyone, that just what she told me her name was.
Lisa Marie is my blue SX P that used to back up to the Precision, but now is my main gigging bass. Named after a little trouble maker from Brooklyn who said I should name it after her!
The other basses remain nameless.
Guitars get numbers mostly,
Number one 1989 Telecaster
'Ol number one '82 G&L S 500
Number Two parts Telecaster from various years AKA Bastardcaster, Yellowcaster.
Number 3 Custom built hollow body Telecaster
Etc. etc/ |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Madison, NJ | | | Started off with Molly, my first bass, an Ibanez SR400, after my girlfriend at the time. Then my SR645 I got down the road was Beth, same story. Then Louise, my acoustic guitar came along. Got my Stingray and that was just plain Ernie. I told my most recent girlfriend that my upright was named Charlotte after her, but I don't talk to her anymore and I still like my bass.
My musical instruments are nothing but an awful timeline of dead relationships.

My Fender Jazz is the Harmonster, because it is a Harmonic Monster. Literally, can do perfect harmonics anywhere on the neck.
My Ibanez SR506 is Sixy McGee. |

With that said, one of my basses does have a name, given to it by the guys that made it (Roscoe)--my SKB3006 is known as "the Brain", after the way the topwood looks.

Stambaugh fretless 7: Grace
Fender Jazz 5: Cinderella(I put a small sticker of her on the headstock. That's right, me. NOT my 4 year old daughter). 
I had another Stammie, a fretless 4. I called it 'Skinny' for how it looked next to its freeway-necked freak younger siblings. TBer Winston has it now.
