The name of Your bass!

[nilorius]

Don't be shy. Post pictures of Your bass and tell us how do YOU name them ! Here is mine:

 

1. D'alessandro hand made 5 string - "Italian stallion"

 

 

2. Ibanez GWB 1005 - "Rozy"

 

 

3. Fender - refinished, fretted Jaco tribute bass - "nilorius bass"

Slow day?

Musicman, it’s written on the headstock.

[Doctor J]

Sorrow.

[tauzero]

Sei fretless - "the Sei fretless"

Sei Flamboyant headless - "the headless Sei Flamboyant"

Sei Flamboyant headed - "the headed Sei Flamboyant" (occasionally "the Sei Flamboyant 6")

Dean 10-string - "the Dean 10-string"

 

You may see a pattern emerging.

The Squier and The Sire.

 

We're not guitarists, we don't need to play our basses the way the women we name our instruments after played us.

Mine are called - Darryl, Orville, Roscoe and Bird. Sadly I don't have any pictures of them.

Which famous bass player named his bass ‘the wife’?!

 

Stop press: in answer to my question I do believe it was Billy Sheehan.

The only bass I've got that's named is Mothman, cause that's what it was named by the builder. Here's a pic of it with my cat, Bubba.

Billy Sheehan's wife.

Anthony Jackson’s Fender hybrid was the ‘Career Girl’.

I must be boring, I call them things like the Green Sire, the Geddy Lee, the Steinberiger, etc.  Not very imaginative I'm afraid.

[PaulThePlug]

Not a bass... but My (Our Son's) '335-a-like' after my Wife (his Mum)

BB had Lucille... We've got Michelle...

I used to use two identical Tbirds in my gigging band - the only way I could tell them apart was by putting a sticker from International Rescue on the back of each - one was Scott, the other Virgil.

The top one is called Sting as it's the same as Sting's maple fretless Precision he has in the 70's. The next one is called Starburst as my wife thinks the sunburst looks like a starburst. Next down is called Lisa after my favourite violinist called Lisa Germano and finally the Stingray is called Pino for obvious reasons.

IT doesn't have a name. IT is known by it's make or colour. (That really should read "they" and not in a non-binary way!)

She is thank you!

I'm considering stripping the gloss coat shell off Quinn and oiling her.
