Does anyone here name each guitar/amp they own? or am I the only one?
If you do, list what it is and what it's called.
Mine are:
BC Rich Zombie Bass - "Lord Bub"
Vintage Wraith - "Grimlock"
Washburn xb-125 - "Gringo"
Yamaha RBX 175 - "Blue Midget"
Peavey Tour 700 - "Lord Humungus"
Am I strange?

My current gigging amp (whichever it may be at that time) is always simply "The Rig" after the honeymoon ends.
