Do you name your basses?

[santucci218]

I took off my used jazzes pickguard and right there, carved into the sunburst was "Suzie Q"

So, i guess my bass is named Suzie Q!

any stories?

 

[HEIST]

Zenith and Nadir.

I don't think I have a story to go with it.

EDIT// Though I will add that I don't think the names are going to change even if the basses change. When I get my hands on the two basses I've been GASsing for (some time in the far far future), they will replace the two I have now as Zenith and Nadir. The black one is always Zenith and the white one always Nadir.

Yes, but the names are pretty boring:

"The Ric"

"The P"

"The J"

"The Washburn"

I call them "the twins", but don't have specific names for each one.

I've always wanted to, but haven't come across just the right ones, yet. It's a very personal thing and has to be just right.

All my basses and guitars have names (except my acoustic, but she's still new).

Blackie
Blondie
Fred
KG
Bacon
Axe
and Charlene

Normally, no I don't. But this Carvin B4 has a name. It's Simone. It's even engraved in the truss rod cover.

Like it's namesake, it is dark, gorgeous and has plenty of booty. Unlike it's namesake, it still let's me grope it.

Sorry... my life is boring.

You want to come up with some names for me? I'm all ears.

If it's any help:

The Ric is JetGlo
The P is Sunburst/black PG
The J is Antique White/tort PG
The Washburn is lacquered mahogany

Well lacquered mahogany reminds me of Monte, so its named Monte...

call the P bass Sunny
Call the Jazz bass king tort
and of course the ric...name him Rick.

I used to always call one of mine Hellhammer.

They are just known as "The Status", "The fretless jazz", and "The Hohner".

Thats a fantastic looking bass man.

My first bass's name is Lucy, my Conklin is Madonna. I name them after chicks in Beatles songs

 

[Phalex]

I have not named any of them, but I do frequently call them names. Usually in front of lots of people. There must be thousands of people that think my Jet-Glo Ric is named "G%^$@^*ed Muther#&^%ing Son of a *^%#&%*ed BI*$#!!!

 

[Tony In Philly]

No, and I'm totally baffled by this new trend of musicians giving their instruments names.
