My New Bass, What you guys think?

Hey,

Just got my new Ibanez BTB09-LTDDOF. I absolutely love it, it feels wonderful, and looks pretty damn fine.

What d'you guys think?

And also, I was recently reading a thread about naming your bass, and I can't seem to come up with one that suits this bass. Any ideas?

I thought that the markings made it look a bit like a travel trunk. Hence, I thought of Travis.

What else gets a number stenciled or tattooed on it?

Prison Inmates [ covered already]
People from the future [Citizen, what is your number?]
Service Members [ on the dog tags]
POWs [ a combination of the above I guess]

It also says, "BTB200 CARTRIDGES". So the engineer POW in Hogan's Heroes was named Carter. Do you cart your bass around?

Maybe it could have a full name, like, Travis Carter.

"Citizen Travis Carter, where are your papers?"

Almost forgot, since it's marked up like a trunk, you could call it Eddie. Ever heard of Eddie Trunk?
