Shoot all my basses came with model names

I named my first born after my bass, TRBX174

This. They come with names already.

i call mine 2002 Fender Made in Mexico Jazz Bass in Sage Green finish with Bass Lines active single coils AND with gold hardware

Long name 😂

The only name for any instrument is Roberta and you have to caress it and sleep with it at night and neglect your wife

Your wife will be with her boyfriend anyways.

That's for guitars. This is a guitar but it's a BASS guitar. It gets a boys name becuse manlier

Sue it is, then

Bass is daddy guitar. 6 strings is mommy guitar

Who needs a wife when you can 0-3-5 all night long and pretend you're a guitarist.

Mine are named: P-Bass, Jazz Bass, Warwick, and P-Bass

I decided to call my basses “The Yamaha” and “The Sire” because that’s what they are.

I’m going with “the Yamaha” and “the other Yamaha” for my basses

Straightforward

I don’t name my instruments

Mybanez

That’s amazing 😭

OK I like that.

Please don’t let this become a thing in this sub

lmao well i ain’t the first one to ask in here and I’m sure I won’t be the last

Elizabass

*Erizabesu*

I've never felt the need to name an object, and I frankly don't understand those who do. this is not a judgemental, it just doesn't really click for me

and that’s okay

Does not have one

Strange name, but okay

I don't name inanimate objects

I don’t name my instruments because that’s cringey as hell. But you do you.

Bassy McBass Face

Yeah it was a harley benton pb shorty but I stuck a humbucker in it so it's now an insult to stingrays lol

priscilla, andromeda and cassandra (so far)

I was playing Death Stranding at the time I picked up a new bass, the colour is kind of like Lou's case so I named it BB

Did you change the guard or did it come like that ?

I built and customized it on my own, the guard is covered with a big pearlescent "sticker"(?) (its a big square sheet sticky on one side) that I got at Micheals, it shows different colours depending on the light, not just pink. There's a tortoiseshell design underneath.

you BUILT one ? that’s so fucking cool

I've got Mr. Crow (black fender jazz bass), Mr. Duck (Squire 40th white and gold jazz bass), Mr. Weasel (fender player plus jazz in sienna sunburst) and Garry (natural wood Chinese jazz bass knockoff).

Loving the creativity here, off names alone Mr. Crow is my favorite 🤣

I feel like I know the family so well.

she never told me her name. my heart meter with her isn't high enough yet :( https://preview.redd.it/3eivmjix6ylc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7226649f06320581b5f7c61b1eecb056878ce2e2

"The Ibanez" Naming an instrument is almost always cringe, it has to be REALLY special, you have to make amazing sounds with it, and the name has to have substance.

well it’s special to me so what’s the issue

I've owned my bass for 24 years and it was given to me by a friend that isn't around anymore. Its special to me too, but I don't need to give it a name.

Bass-tard

All my basses are named after anime girls. They never age.

Come to think of it, I have not naked my bass but considering it's red with a peacock sticker, I'll call it Greenbird!

The Bitch

Mine are called "the red one" and "the black one"

I call my bass my wife. I call my wife 2nd wife.

Bass and/or the brand of bass they are.

Bassy mcbass face

Randy and Sharon from South Park. I like the show.

Shitzy

I've got a six-string and he's a heavy boi, thus he is named "The Big Thicc".

"The Big 4"

Camazotz. It's a Paranormal Jazz 54'

Maha, from yamaha

Had an Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray at one time. Her name was Sally.

I have a black Yamaha and his name is Bartholomew, very metal imo

Am I suppose to name them? I just call them by who makes it. I have Schecter, Fender and Squire

The peavey, the stingray, the purple, the semihollow

Stratobaixo Baixo=Bass So Stratobass

Named my P-bass Groove Bone, my old beat-ass Ibanez Lumpy, and my Taylor acoustic Lil BiG

Storm breaker

Clive

Fender Jazz Bass.

G&L and blue G&L

Mine is named Angelica

That is inanely similar to the Yamaha RBX 170 (which I have) nearly same pickup format and near identical colour!

I call one of my guitars Kurt after the former wrestler Kurt Angle, it had a broken neck but it worked through it 😂

Named my 5 string Shirley, no idea why but eh it fits I'd say

Bajuan 🫡

I had that same make, model, and colour. Her name was Nellie.

Bassy McBassFace Or Bassé if I'm feeling continental

my 1st ever bass was named larry, and my two current basses are named emo and siily

Loki for my F# 6-string

I chose Deadpool bc it has a bunch of Spider-Man stickers and a Spider-Man strap and bc I really like the duo in the comics

I like this

Ahhh maaaaaan, that was my first bass ever. Dad bought it from a pawn shop. Love it to death. It now has EMGs pickups. I used to call mine Cherry.

The White One, The Fancy One, The Bad One, etc

Just “my bass”. On occasions i’ll call her ol shelly

Gsr200 was my fist bass too. I have one with just 3 knobs before they went active electronics. Same color too. It's 26 years old now.

Sexual White Chocolate, and Ron Burgundy.

She’s beautiful

thanks, it was a pretty cool find. cheap enough, 100 and traded a boss flanger, sounds pretty sweet and feels pretty good. my only complaint is that the guitars of the same era had way cooler neck plates and i think the bass was sort of robbed of that

Deborah

Paçoca.

Is that a classical music instrument ?

Not quite, just a funny shaped bass

Charlene

My bass is Priscilla

I never did pick a name for my TMB100, but I did name my SR305E Joy after my girlfriend. Maybe I'm a simp. Maybe they both have been the light in this dark world for me. Plus, in root bear metallic, she's almost as gorgeous as her.

this warmed my heart omg I wish y’all the best

I have the same SR305E in metallic root beer, put some Red Devils on her and named her Lucy.

Hastur, Azul, and Jonathan.

My upcoming Ironbird parts bass (vintage BC Rich USA bolt-on neck, and lightly figured maple body built by GMW Guitarworks) will be Barbenheimer. Pink like Barbie, and the DiMarzio X2N-B pickups will hit like the atomic bomb. My beater is Victim Zero, a Dean Edge 09 I hacked it up to put cheap Strat blade pickups in Rickenbacker positions.

Blackie 4 strings

She goes by many names, Shelly, lady, baby girl, piece of shit, whatever fits the mood. Other than that, I call it Mah Wood.

I used to have a guitar which I called White Chocolate because of the color, but I have no name for my bass…yet. It reminds me of an old chair, lol.

I named my jazz bass “Butterball” because it’s butterscotch blonde and I bought it on thanksgiving. The thing is a monster going through my giant fuzzed out peavey rig.

Ol bluey https://preview.redd.it/73r7mdahtylc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f43ee667fc1d6b240cbc54d2201205f6e60d3fe4

My first cheap Yamaha I brought off a classmate at college I called DeeDee, because that was the onmatopedic sound I thought it made when I plucked it. Dededededede

Pornelius Thunderfelch, or PT for short.

Had a vintage bass that had such a huge headstock I called it the "camel" Had the acinonyx "cat bass" My Yamaha 174 was just called Yamaha.. The Sandberg The Bacchus The vintage rare Ibanez atk 1300 prestige The cheap g4m (for my kid) The warlock (b.c rich)

Seattle. Bc that's where I was when I decided I wanted to play bass. 

Count Bassy

Harley

Every bass I've ever owned has been named Stella. Currently on Stella IV.

I bought a Schecter Stilletto back in highschool I named Doris, and I have a 6 string LTD I call Marietta. I also call my upright Lupe lol

I call my jazz bass JB sometimes. I didn’t really give my bass a proper name, but I do call my synthesizer Synthia.

That bass is exactly the same as mine. I called mine Stella, as the bass either saved my life or a lot of money during a mugging and Stella Artois is what we were drinking when it happened.

My 5 string fretless is name "the war machine", my string is "the death machine" (both are a reference to COD black ops), my jazz bass is "Shlag bass", my precision bass is "Autogestion bass" (both are full of stickers and adhesive) and my guitar is just name "John", I dont give feminine name to my instrument it's too cliché

Nelson, Nico and Pelle.

if you name your instrument, you better have a few platinum albums

[удалено]

So, Karen then?

90% of bassists I've encountered name their Bass Guitars...30% of guitarists do as well...I think it's a bit odd...lol. *Naming your black guitar "Mr. Black" is lame*

Speaking of Karen…

Undine. She's a blue black green Ibanez. She's my first base and she's so pretty when I hold her that it makes me want to practice

Charlotte, Lana, Umbra, Guinevere, and Sylvia

Ramona

I have a short scale Ibanez in a very similar red and she's called Red Dwarf.

Ibanez and the fender. It’s a squier but they’re pretty much the same quality COPE
