Not only the Featured Customs have got 'em, I'm certainly not the only one who gives their Alembic(s) names around here, right?
 
- 1980-ish Series I: 'Birdy'
(quite obvious when you see those birds staring at you from her top, back and headstock)
 
- 1991 EVH Signature: 'St. Stephen'
(my favorite Grateful Dead song, actually from 'Aoxomoxoa', the first GD album Alembic was really involved in)
 
- 1999 Orion: 'Ent'
(the Dutch word for graft, and since the top wood is grafted walnut...)
 
Wilfred - that's me ;-)

I have a flame purpleheart top 03'Rogue 5 but haven't named it yet.One of the band leaders asked me once what I named it but I didn't have an answer for him.Maybe you can Wilfred or any other club member can take a stab at it if they would like.

My 96 Stanley Clark Signature standard is called Cupcake because she's a sweet treat for one! I haven't named my Persuader or Epic.

Well, your Rogue is a great looking instrument, and it's very obvious to use the purpleheart aspect while naming her. But I think it's very personal, the name should be fitting to you, and no-one else. The best I can come up with is 'Purple Haze' at the moment...

Of course there is Bonnie ...

Paul, the natural way everyone around here responded to the fact of you giving your beautiful instrument the name 'Bonnie', is actually what made me think about naming my Alembics also!

hmm, my basses are named:
The Fender
The Pedulla
The Alembic
The MK (Michael Kelly Guitars)
The Fretted Bass (an Ibanez)
The Old Upright
The New Upright
 
These names show about as much imagination as the names I give my cats. (fuzzy cat, stupid cat...)  So, I guess I'm just hopeless.  But if I ever get another Alembic I guess I'll have to get out the baby names book ;-)
 
Or I could have a naming contest for my Alembic on the forums, maybe?

Because the Bass is indeed the product of the Elven smiths at Alembic, it only seemed appropriate to give my bass an Elvish name (Quenya, of course!), so mine is Erin-Oromion, wood of the forest lord.

Someone suggested The Purple Bull Head but I thought that was a little too suggestive.Bwaaaa

My SPOILER is an Omega-shaped, Crown-headed beauty in see-through red.
 
My brother-in-law came to town with my sister, and after hearing all about it over the phone just had to see it.  I brought the case in the room, opened it, and lifted it out.  Whereupon he said, Wow, that's a BIG RED BASS!
 
And .. now... you know the rest of the story.
