View attachment 510871 View attachment 510872 I sometimes refer to the Kramer lumie as "Lucifer's Hammer", because that's what it sounds like, and because it's a neck-heavy (very neck-heavy) SOB. The Gretsch's name is usually "You **@#! piece of *!!@#" (it has lots of problems). As for the other 17 basses; like I've said before - they don't need names. They're like cats; they won't come when you call them, so why bother to name them?

Your not training your cat right...

I do hope to own a Mustang in the future that I could name Ramona. Other then that , the current bass is 5 years old so there's no point in naming that anymore.

There are some really good names in this thread!

I've never named a bass. I think I'll call my 2000 Standard Jazz "Jackpot". It has all the desired extras you sometimes would get from the Ensenada plant(Non-veneered alder body, dark rosewood fingerboard, quartersawn neck..good pickup and neck pocket routings).

I've owned quite a few basses over the years, but only one ever got a name: Mistress. The former wife didn't care much for it.

I have had the Ibanezes for over a decade without naming one of them. The SR 480 with the natural oiled finish is "Woody" and the Jazz Bass, due to its somewhat unisex color, I HAD to give it a sex neutral name, so it's name is Kelly.

 

[Misfit Wookiee]

I have an Epiphone EBM-4 that I named "Blearrgh" after the S.O.D. song lyrics to "Hey Gordy"... There was no Epiphone writing on the bass and the little "E" on the truss rod cover was easily removable, so I re-christened it years ago.

My brand new candy apple red Yamaha TRBX-305 is "Red Five", because I am a geek, as evidenced by my avatar. Probably the only wookiee currently flying an X-Wing.
