In my life, I have owned many instruments. A whole lot of ‘em. I’ve never felt the need to name a single one.

I’m not a name person. When my daughter was born, we told people we were waiting until she got older so she could name herself

When my youngest brother was born my dad wanted to name him Ira because he was a huge Ira Gershwin fan.
Mum said ‘how do you spell that?’
‘IRA’
‘Yeah maybe not’ said Dad.

My cat has a name. I still generally call him cat. He answers to it too. Good thing I don’t have a wife.

This is “The Blood Bass.”
I bought it after I spent a few days in the hospital at the beginning of the year from a pretty massive blood clot. Not to be over dramatic, but I was told that I was lucky to still be around. I can’t think of a better reason to buy a bass. And my wife was like, “yes you should totally buy a bass.” So I got The Blood Bass in honor of the thing that tried to kill me.
It’s a Schecter Omen Extreme 4.

I don’t name mine but if I did my SBV-800MF would have to be “Miki” (nothing else would make sense, it’s a Miki Furukawa signature model), and I think I would name my matte black BB734A “Captain BAMF”.

Absolutely, it makes them each feel unique and personal to me.

Funny, after a few years I’ve settled on names like The Ibanez; The Mustang; The P (which is what I call the 70s telecaster bass)
