Name my Bass

I know the feeling, my jazz needs a name. I've noticed that all my nicknames tend to follow the "Blanky Mcblankerson" format. So I'm thinking of calling it Blanky Mcblankerson. Go ahead and steal it if you like,:p I probably won't use it
 
Or, since red is Italy's official international racing color, an Italian girl's name. How about 'Sophia' (Enzo if you want a boy's name)?


Couldn't agree with you more. For a red jag, an italian girl name would totally work. I have this thing where I can only give my instruments female names (except for my first guitar that my dad bought me). But yeah, totally a Sophia or something along those lines would work. Also I have synesthesia, and S is red for me, so Sophia or Sadie really seem to fit.
 
IMHO intentionally naming an instrument is kind of stupid. If a name catches hold and sticks for a reason, then great... but searching for one is wasted time as far as I'm concerned.

Absolutely. W/that:
Funkalupagus
Rodan
Gristle Bat
Flying lizard
Flying Fish
Flying Squirrel
Secret Squirrel
Fluffy
Puddles
The Booty Snatcher

Edit: I find it silly(as opposed to stupid)but I'm here for the silly. :)
