I can't believe that there are bassists here that won't own a quality instrument because of its logo.
Anything you guys don't want, just throw it my way.

In keeping with the OP theme here are a few additions:
Moon - just sounds too 70's or obscene, don't you get busted for droping trou?
Daisy Rock - it's an instrument not a flower, or contradiction in terms
Spector - sounds ominous
Luna - see "Moon" above
Yamaha - I want a bass not a motorcycle
Univox - a single voiced instrument seems too limiting
Rogue - doesn't this mean a "disreputable individual" or lacking in character

I don't know about stuff I wouldn't own because of the name (although a good number of the stuff that is out there that is aimed directly at the Goth market leaves me a little cold...).
I WOULD however, like to have a particular bass simply because of the name. And that is... (wait for it....) one of the old 70's Ampeg "Big Stud" basses. C'mon, it's so bad it is cool!
Every now and then I see one on eBay but so far I haven't been able to win one, keep getting bid up higher than I'm willing to pay.

I don't think there is any gear that I wouldn't buy JUST because of the name.
That is until someone makes: "The Fudgepacker Fretless Five String" :scowl:

Warwick - as I understand the past discussions they used Spector's design without paying for it, after they signed a contract to do so.

because it has a dorky name!
For me, OLP, because the name is so unimaginative and inane, and Dingwall, because it just sounds.... dingy.
(This is a tongue-in-cheek type of thread, don't post here if you can't be nice about it. )
Clearly people have just read the title and not the post that went with it.
And it looks like someone shrunk the neck, and added six strings too, and replaced the pickups with guitar pickups, and... wait a minute... hey, that's a guitar!
