Pet-names for you gear?

[cavemanbass0805]

My first bass was "Io"
my current bass is "Durendel"
my acoustic is "Roane"
My electric (gasp) guitar is "Neriad"

My friend named all his guiatars too:
Booger, Electricfart, [one i forgot] and Silent-Wind-of-Death-Whoosh.

 

[professor_bills]

MY first bass was an old Harmony hollow body called "the log"
My second was a red Fender Music Master named "big red"
Both of those are gone
I never named my Squier Pbass
and my Rickenbacker is just called "the Ric" or sometimes Rikki

 

[RTL]

I call my SX "Cheapie".

I wouldn't dare try to name my Elrick or Roscoe (or the Roscoe on the way.. This is bad luck!) Besides... The two boutiques already have a name for me: "The Inferior One."

 

[Phalex]

My Mark Hoppus signature bass:
******* piece of ****in ****!! Don't get me wrong, she's a player, but she had a pretty rough previous existance before I bought her.

 

[walterw]

my friend's '80s kramer p-bass that's covered in knife gouges and has had an endless succession of necks and pickups: "the Bass of Woe" (after the first conan movie where the bad guy has arnold chained to "the Tree of Woe")

my old SVT head: "Christine" (in the book, the evil car gives the guy strength and confidence, but destroys his back from needing to be pushed all the time).

i knew it was possessed when i went to sell it and it started making all kinds of strange noises it had never made before, driving the first buyer away

 

[AnchorHoy]

Only named one piece of gear in 30+ years of playing and collecting: a Gibson ES-175TDN

Thinline jazz guitar in Natural maple, named "The Blonde"

After a hot-and-cold relationship that lasted about 10 years, I ended up trading her away for a brunette

 

[Bass Elf]

I call my bass JD.

 

[Gubna]

Just one, a precision I put together

Big Buffalo

 

[two fingers]

The only one that has a "name" is my Ampeg 8-10. It is "the coffin" or "the casket".

 

[Dom Phenom]

My Dingwall is affectionately referred to as "Go Deep" at times.

My Rhodes 54 is called "Mr. Opportunity".

 

[Rich Guastella]

Schecter C-4 ...Esmerelda, (I've always called my basses Esmerelda,(??? Beats me why...sumthin to do with BB's Lucille I think)
Acoustic B-200.....Bertha
Acoustic B-115 cab.....Little Bertha...I know SWR's are also Bertha's

[Stanley Design]

I named my acoustics but never my basses.

I have a Taylor, which was really expensive, I can't really bring it everywhere I'd like. So I bought a Taylor Baby for $250 and it's my beater, I call the baby Rosaline because it's my second choice and therefore my true love is Juliet.

My basses don't have names, I can never come up with ones to suit them.

 

[AN4E]

MTD - roses at midnight
pbass - pralines
Ibanez - Scarlet
combo amp - Scott
PRS guitar - Ariel
Acoustic - Sunshine

Basses i did away with -
BC rich warlock - The impaler
Fender jazz bass - Rosalie

 

[nsmar4211]

Ok I gave in...... I keep finding myself referring to my newest bass as "Red". Yep, it's red.
My bass that died (and I've not come to terms with it) was Dory. It has a sticker of Dory from Finding Nemo on it!
I'll have to find a name for my passive bass besides "The bass that keeps ticking me off because it has no sound" I guess.... Hrm..... maybe Whisper? LOL
There's a lot of Blacky's out there......I know 3!!

 

[kugelspot]

I used to own a bright yellow strat known affectionately as the electric banana.

YAY SPINAL TAP REFERENCE!

Spector NS-2J-EX- Woodstock (from where it was made, Woodstock NY)
'82 Kramer DMZ6000- The Kramer (never found a good name for it )
Hohner B2ADB Headless- Crippie (Its kinda broken)

 

[DoomandHeavy]

I think I posted here already but I'm too lazy to check. I call my Ibanez SR506 Meatloaf because it's big and sounds good. And I call my Greg Bennet Chunga after the Zappa song.

 

[Lazylion]

My '77 Precision has earned the name "Old Faithful". I've got 6 other basses, none of them have names.
I also have a Digitech BP50 processor that I call "the Obbno Box", because most of the 40 presets just sound obnoxious.

 

[BassGirl1122]

I got my lucky seventh bass, and it's name is Boris. My second "guy" bass and it's a cream colored Fender J with a blue spider sticker on it

 

[kesslari]

Most of mine are beverages:
Ibanez Gary Willis Fretless - Oolong
Tobias Classic (walnut top) - Mocha
Ibanez ATK Blue Moon - Blue Mojito

Zon Sonus Special Fretless - Ceylon Woman
both from Ceylon tea, and the old Nina Simone song (which I first heard as "Ceylon Woman")
"Ceylon woman, dressed in red,
make a man lose his head...
...for $1000 she'll wail and she'll moan..."

My amp and speakers have no names.
I do refer to my dogs as woofers sometimes. Except the small one, who is almost a tweeter.

 

[Toadsmacker]

My Ibanez ATK is named Luna, because the white pearl pickguard against the dark transparent blue finish reminds me of the moon on a clear night.
