operative451 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Does anyone else name their kit? I blame farscape... And i just wanted to post my groovy decal really! I felt that my white bass needed a bond villainess type name! [attachment=208604:1910064_801614123300181_4048036318451928099_n.jpg] My Flying V is called 'Funk Rocket Ajax', the pink bass is called 'Fifi la Bass' and my bike is The Beast - but they don't have stickers yet!

leschirons Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Mine are called the 4 string, the 5 string and the 6 string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Not for me - it's an object, so doesn't need a name aside from what it is (a black jazz bass, etc) (or a gender, which I find [i]very[/i] strange) Edited January 4, 2016 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Ha ha, and I thought it was just me! I don't name bass guitars, or amps or anything like that But when it comes to double basses, my DB is called "Lady Georgina" and my EUB is called "Emma" - I have no idea why they have these names, or why I would name them anyway .... maybe it's just a sign of madness anyway? But who cares? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Mine are called 76, Dakota and Hayman. Dakota is a colour and Hayman is a brand. You don't want to get too personal, in case something happens to them or, God forbid, you need to sell one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) My onyx black BC Rich Warlock is named Ravensfriend (after a sword in one of my very favourite fantasy novels. It's full name is a bit of a mouthful...). My Cort T-35 is named Gloomborn. My PCs have names, too, as do their hard drives. Named after fictional fantasy worlds and places, people and swords (such as Alice in Wonderland or Krynn, the world from the Dragonlance stories, and the Elric books by Michael Moorcroft).

Marvin Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The Ibanez gets called Izabell by Mrs Marvin, that's about it. The Yamaha gets called The Yamaha and my Sire V7 Marcus Miler gets called the V7. All very simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 My GB basses were all named for me... Sparky (because the tree that it was made from was stuck by lightning) Bentley (because apparently it looks like a Bentley dashboard) Gabbie (the woman logo that Bernie uses (with the arse forming the base of the bass), is called Gabbie. He thought my bass should have the name because it's a Rumour with all options - at the time, not other Rumour had been specced that highly). And my Yamaha RBX? "The Yammy" But none of my other basses or instruments are named as such... they are generally referred to as - "the black strat, the burst strat, the tele, the Lakland, the Jazz etc..." or "The Nathan East" or "The Taylor"... You get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Nah, not that sentimental. I really like the name Dune, which is what Dan Hawkins of The Darkness calls one of his guitars, but as I can`t think of another name I like I don`t see the point of either one or all of my basses having that name.
