Called my '72 Precision 'Glamdring', stenciled on the hard case (Gandalf's sword in LOTR - I was on the road and traveled with the books in the 70's).

Will post photos later but the family names are:
MM Sterling is "Little Blue", and Carvin 5 is "Cool Hand".

The '77 Ripper is new and hasn't revealed its character yet.

Post your names and pictures.

Stambaugh 6: The Most Beautiful Bass Of All Time.*
Warwick FNA 4: The D(for divorce; although it did not cause one, my wife hates it )bass.
Curiously, I have other basses which I have not named.

*Before having the Stammie built I had a Ken Smith 6 that was 'The Most Beautiful Bass In The World'- I had to ramp it up. I also had, for awhile, a fretless 7 I called 'The End Of The World Bass.'

I have this kinda mustard color semi-hollow guitar that is modeled after a gibson dot and because of the shape and the location of the black volume and tone knobs it looks like a giant goldfish with two holes in it and a long fretboard sticking out from the tail... so i call that guitar my "goldfish"

My three favorite basses are named P, J, and Ric. I lack imagination.

SXJ-57 - "Chevy" because the vintage yellow reminds my wife of an old Chevy
SXP-57 - "Herbie" because it's the closest I've gotten thus far to a signature instrument
'wick Corvette - "Rosie" strictly due to the color
'wick Fortress - "Mojo" because of the two wear marks on it
String Bass - "Henrietta" named in HS from a girl that said it needed a pretty name, and it stuck
Kydd EUB - "Tiny" because it is.

Old basses that have since left my hands

Spartan - green swamp ash jazz bass with EMGs and an aluminum fretboard, named after my hometown's college mascot. It was parted out; the tuners and bridge are now on "Chevy."
The Monster - a Hondo doubleneck 4-string/8-string in a crazy custom paint job.
