What's Your Bass/Guitar's Name?

[EatS1stBassist]

Woody is a 51ish P of mine, and given the simple hardware, wood knobs, and no pickguard.you see a lot of wood.

Thunder is my D standard tuned instrument.

Holey was the bass with the heaviest body, butnow has some weight relief hole in the back.

Shorty is a medium scale.

If I ever have an issue on a gig, I can call my wife and ask her to bring me a bass by name - they all have luggage tags on their gig bags with their names. So, it’s practical.

Perfect

The five string Dillion jazz bass is
Osiris...Egyptian God of the undeworld

The Human Base Bass is
Surya Hindu God of the sun

All my basses are named after me because they're signature models, which I richly deserve due to my incomparable technique as bassist for U2, for whom I play bass as the bass player, often using as many as two strings on the same song.

I don't name inanimate objects.

A bass is not an inanimate object, but some bass players are.

I hadn't named it until someone asked me for her name. It only took me a minute to name her Scarlet, seeing whereas she's black cherry burst.

 

[Gord_oh]

Mine has Geddy Lee’s name on it.

Mine has Marcus Miller's signature on it.

Only one - my 1st. A '78 Fretless P-Bass. It's heavy, thick, and it cuts. I call it Meat Plow.

My Pbass is Vera (it’s a Roger Waters Sig)
Brubaker Brute JM5 is Brunhilda (cuz she’s a brutish Viking)
My fretless Pbass is Speedy (cuz it’s pink. Pac-Man reference)
My FrankenJazz is Valerie (no idea where this came from)

My Lakland Joe Osborn was named Windy (after The Association tune, which JO played on)
My ‘51 RI Pbass was Roxanne (Police song)
My Lakland Decade was Madison (what my parents were going to name me if i was a girl. I thought the Decade was my perfect, bury-it-with-me bass. Man, was I wrong)

I just refer to mine by their make/model, because they are inanimate things.

It's easier for me to believe I'm still mentally sane if I don't give names to inanimate things.

I haven't named anything that wasn't alive since I had a stuffed animal zoo in kindergarten.

Sure, I have a Ibanez GSR200TR trans red called Ava Gardner, A Squire VM 77 Jazz in Amber that now has a pearl white pick guard to match the maple and pearl block neck called Betty Grable, and a Dean 5 string acoustic bass I call Little Martha. A guy has got to have his fantasies.
