lol
imagine having to repeat that explanation 5x each time you get asked ... and since i have like 7 basses, that's basically 35x you have to explain to people which bass is which lol
on to my stuff. i like watching anime, and i have a tendency, or shall i say trend, that i name my guitars after female characters who share common traits, mostly color.
1. Nina - after the protagonist of UltraManiac...
- red, copy strat handed down from my father. spent the first part of it's life stock with me, but back in 2005 i turned it into a ghetto-fab frankenstrat. she sounds crappy, like the character it was named for. however, i had my first gig with it, wrote and recorded lots of songs with it...currently dead and awaiting parts for resurrection
2. Maia - after the antagonist of UltraManiac...
- black epi les paul special model...first guitar i bought with my own money. i bought it primarily to use at a christmas party gig because i thought Nina sounded like crap. with a gibson zebra bridge pup, it sounded more rock n roll...never recorded with it, hadn't gigged as much as my strat
3. Yuri - after one of the female leads of Angel Beats!
- midnight blue epi pro II super strat...hands down the best sounding guitar i own. bought it for christmas last year because i got fed up with the lp and felt gravitating back towards strats. a real super strat with weird slanted obl pups and an equally weird trem. currently my main gig guitar.
