I really shouldn't post the names I use...

My Schecter Studio 5 is my whore and my dean custom zone 4 is referred to by a certain racial slur. My friend used the N word to refer to my bass and it stuck... as awful as that sounds...
 
None of my instruments have names. But my '75 Precision I always refer to as "My Precision" or "The Precision" with capitalized "P" when spelled or emphasised when spoken. She is also the only instrument I refer to as "She" or "Her". She was my first lefthanded bass and we have been through a lot together through a lot of years, She was even stolen from me and recovered by me in an incredible set of circustances. There is deep Karma between us.
