I decided my basses should have names. The oldest, the BEAD tuned Ibanez has the right to be called ThunderBass. The blueburst G&L will be Big Blue from now on; big for the tone, blue because of the colour. I'm still in doubt about the white P Bass I recently bought. It'll be White Punk or Rebel. I just dunno yet.
I had a white Squire P-bass once. It was metalic pearl white. I called it me “Pearl bass”.
I never named my G&L.
My 6-string neck-through mahogany bass is affectionately called, “boat anchor”. And my custom 5-string blue fretless that Marko helped me make has been named, “Blue Angel” by my daughter.
Hey Marko - how do you like the thumb rest? I added one on my Project Bass (that's its name, for now, and included to be on topic) and I haven't gotten used to it yet.
