I once started a thread about the use of female pronouns to refer to basses. It went ... poorly.

Nope. I just refer to them as Stingray, L, P, Jazz, and Ibanez.

I think I remember...

Only my first amp has a name (the Ground Hog) because when I told my friend my amp was “delivered” he replied “Congratulations, what’s it’s name?” (Weight was 38 lbs, 0 ounces.)

Not really any of my basses except my VI (who is Eddie), my guitars though all have names.

 

[OogieWaWa]

Pearl and Lightning. Not that it took much imagination. And they aren't inanimate, they each definitely have a personality. Buncha balloon poppers here.

Did you give your bass a name? I’ve never named an instrument before but my new Eko 995 has become Betty and I don’t know why.

Tried, but they don't stick.

The G&L
The tribute girl

Those are my basses.

What does Pope Francis have to do with this? Does he play bass too?

 

[fhm555]

People who give names to inanimate objects scare me.

Same here, but even more frightening are those who think rasslin is real.

Naw, he’s s Strat guy...

 

[ZedLepp]

I only have a few that have names. I find that the names don't come from me thinking "what to call this one", but it just more or less happens. Someone calls it a name and it just sticks.

 

[Michedelic]

Let’s see, there’s Gacy, Gein, Dahmer, Bundy, Berkowitz, Ramirez, Manson, Berdella, Wurnos...

I just don't name objects very much.
