NBD: what should I name her

[DwaynieAD]

Just got a MIM Fender Jazz V from fellow TB'er Lamarjones. Thank you much man. She is Midnight Wine in color and oh boy does she growl, plays like a million bucks, and looks beautiful.. Arrived in tune as well. I'm totally stoked.

so the question is.. what should I name her? popular choices from my facebook are listed above

I like Scarlet, but that's because I named my EBMM SUB after Scarlett Johansson.

Naming an instrument is an intensely personal experience that can only happen after hours upon hours of continuous playing of that instrument, when your mind starts to wander and you hear a small voice in your head. Before you force yourself to snap out of it, you must take control of the conversation and ask your bass its name - at which point it will do one of two things: disappear in a flash of smoke (meaning you weren't destined to be together), or reply with the most incredibly fitting name that you could have never thought of yourself.
I wish you the best of luck.

Helga. Nobody has a bass named Helga.

I am going to say your name choices aren't sexy enough, nor do they seem to match her looks. I'm thinking really hot latina names. The wine, MIM, worth a million and growl. I'm more like J Lo, Eva, Selma or Mayrin. Pick one.

In tune at arrival and got you all worked up


HER NAME IS "VIOLET" ...

Sig'd?

If it growls, name it Helga. You can't expect a bass with a stripper name to growl.

Naming an instrument is freaky, for me its a bit like naming your penis, its wrong...

 

[SteveC]

I think naming instruments is kinda lame, and I don't realy care for any of those names you listed. Sorry.

 

[CTbass613]

why not name it bob? or steve? i wouldn't go with scarlett, doesn't she have HIV or something? A bob or steve will never cheat on you with another player...just be your working buddy.

Nothing against having a little fun, i just dont see the point in naming objects and organs!
You dont name your shoes and your pens do you?

My girls.... Mickey - Blondie & Shmitty - so there. I like naming them. Some people have names for me to but TB rules discourage that kind of wording.
