| | | | Good: Stingray, Thunderbird, or anything else that makes me feel like a rock n' roll badass just by saying aloud.
Bad: The potential confusion that could arise from having both the Music Man Sterling and Sterling by Music Man. Even better if you're dealing with a Sterling by Music Man Sterling. Also, any bass or pedal that's just a long series of letters and numbers. *COUGHIbanezandbossCOUGH*

on the second part there are a lot of bass amps and cabs that fall into this as well. |

My first Bass Amp was an Aria "Birdie." That name left a bit to be desired as well. At least it was blond with tweed.
Not a drummer by any means, but always thought "Pork Pie" could have used a little work as well.
