if you wsh you may post pics of said basses (im not fussy)

[s_mcsleazy]

People actually name inanimate objects?

I have always named my basses and my Harley's. This girl is named Sarah and she is coming up on her 23rd bday. Don't remember exactly why I came up with that name.

 

[Suzo]

LOL, I tend to name inanimate objects too... I kind of think of my car of having it's own mind- kind of Herbie style... "old car" is his name...

No, I'm not nuts, honest!

 

[Suzo]

Also have two classical guitars in the collection "Tony" and "Rik" after their luthiers...

 

[Dubadays]

I named my bass "Avery".

I used that bass to play in a band called "Pillar of Autumn".

With that band, we won a guitar, which we named "Keyes"

If you can link the three together, you are a class A nerd

I have called my basses a POS due to my consistent ability to make 1 stupid mistake when the rest of the rhythm section cuts a perfect track but have never given them a name!

 

[Emanuel Apascaritei]

mine is pupy, Actually I wanted to write puppy but the second p didn´t come out and so it´s called pupy

it´s a fender am.std.jazz in olympic white with maple fingerboard

 

[Zolddd]

Rita, after rita hayworth, and old pin up girl.
its a schecter stargazer in crimson ghost, and it kinda screams tre sexy in red, so it jsut sorta fits.

 

[Pilgrim]

I don't name inanimate objects...some people do, but I've never been inclined that way. Living things get names.

 

[s_mcsleazy]

my 2 main ones are called gecko and cap'n jazz

gecko cos the finish looks like a green and yellow gecko and cap'n jazz cos its a jazz bass and im a big fan on the band cap'n jazz

 

[Yakob]

On topic:

Aria Pro II RSB Medium-II: Avi, just seemed like a good name...

Ibanez GSR100: Kazam, has a sticker made by local artist Kazam.

Beatle-bass copy: Jasper, seemed like a good name for an old bass...

OLP MM2*: Oliver Livingstrom-Percival, check the initials...

Fender Cyclone (guitar): Kim, after Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth

Fernandes Atlas 4X: No name yet, we'll see...





*Oliver is for sale, so he'll probably be renamed when he gets a new owner ... Maybe they'll just change his last name, like an adoption sort of thing ?

I have a Westone Spectrum DX bass called 'Old Faithful' - I've had it since 1988 and it's extremely rugged and reliable. I also have a very cheap Wesley bass that's called 'Not Pink' - when it was given to me it was pink, but that's all gone now (and I'm using bits of it to make cheap and cheerful custom bass)

 

[snyderz]

I've had 25-30 basses, and never felt inclined to name any of them.
