asingardenof Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MothMan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I must be boring, I call them things like the Green Sire, the Geddy Lee, the Steinberiger, etc. Not very imaginative I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitsto Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 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.

Linus27 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
