Just looking on the Thomann site, and they do an own brand small valve amp, the Harley Benton GA 5 H.
"GASH".
Ha, ha, ha!
-
I call all my guitars the same name, which is the same nickname I give my penis. Excalibur.
-
In the '80s Yamaha made a pickup called the
"FOCUS" - SH1T (Ceramic)
EDIT: I also remember seeing a small practice amp in a second hand shop, the brand name was P.O.S.
:?
-
Rothwell's Love Squeeze compressor - coolest name ever

big muff has to be the classic, although the BYOC version 'large beaver' has to rate a close second
-
Wasn't there an amp with a channel switcher called Foot Unit 2 - f*ck you too :lol:

Noooo it won't fit the word limit - gah!
-
the sho is a fairly crude name too.

I thought this was gonna be about the names people give to their gear, something which makes we want to stab myself in the face.
I'm glad it isn't.

It's childish, but I still find this funny:

There was a pedal that was called Teese Monkeys Fly Out Butt.

The valve slapper has Thrust, Ball's, Tits and Ass controls.....
-
And how about the Malekko Assmaster bass overdrive?
-
nobody mentioned koch and fuchs yet?
-
Not guitar related, but I once saw a snooker cue endorsed by Marco Foo. It was called the Foo Cue.... made me larf anyway.

I don't think said people would mind if you stabbed yourself in the face.

I'd imagine not, but I can always sit safe in the knowledge that I'm infinitely less of a wank. :)
Oh, and chicks dig scars, so I'd see an even higher percentage of the birds they cannae get unless they buffer, y'know?

You don't name your guitars NFE? Is it really that offensive to said face? :D

I'm not a 12 year old girl.
Honestly, it just drives me up the wall. At work, even hearing dafties utter nonsense like "SHE plays great" makes half the shop staff visibly wince. It just seems so unbearably childish. People naming ANY inanimate object seems stupid to me, though I can almost tolerate boats, given it's such an old tradition.
Is this really unusual? As I say, the entire staff at my work find it laughable, and we're a whole shop of musicians, obviously.

Hmm...I think your probably on the far side of the fence this time, inanimate objects that can have a "personality" of sorts and is central to your craft (a ship, a car, a guitar) are often designated in the feminine tense. Its not uncommon at all really.

I tend to agree. Not so bothered about naming things - it can be just a convenient label, with no great anthropomorphic significance - but when people call guitars "she" (or refer to their car as "the old girl") it does make me cringe.
Which doesn't mean I don't get sentimentally attached to inanimate objects. I tend to ascribe mystical significance to the fact that something's old, or that I've owned it a long time. Which is why I wouldn't carve up a vintage guitar. Probably just as bad as the names thing, really.
-
Surely my entry wins. It was blanked out for God's sake!
C untz Guitars, google it!
-
That pedal PhillyQ found is amazing!
-
I think Way Huge's Swollen Pickle and Pork Loin should be up for consideration.
Shame he was bought up by Dunlop :(
-

I'm the very face of astonishment :wink:
I still have no idea what "cannae get unless they buffer" means.
-
Cannae just means Can't. Internet videos buffer.

while i agree and don't call inanimate objects "he" or "she", i wonder is it a throwback to when english had genders for nouns? I know most other european languages do (certainly romance and germanic). and english is pretty much german and norse whacked together with french and a bit of latin. and maybe a wee bit of celtic.
EDIT: yup, old english had gender for nouns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_english#Germanic_origins
yeah, i know i suck for being interested in this kind of shite. :lol:
-
If people regularly did it with ANY inanimate object then there'd maybe be some merit in that. But they don't, it's only ever prized possessions or something they're proud to own.
-
yeah, of course, they might just be prats. :lol:
it's done a lot with ships, though. they always seem to be called "she". though any words for ship in either german or french i just looked up were either neuter or masculine... :lol:
going with prats, yeah. :lol:

It's a good argument, Dave, but why is it always "she" not "he"? Surely old English nouns had both genders, just like modern languages.
Lets stick with prats. :lol:

No need to think you suck, Dave. Interest in language is quite healthy in my book. :D

Bollocks is a little more English (but not uncommon in Scotland), baws (balls) would be more common/traditional (at least in the West).

If people all did the same thing, life would be boring. It atleast gives you something to talk about, right??

-
Yeah we (me, Edith and Alice) wanna see the scars :lol:
Not all me geetars have names though - and Edith and Alice aren't even my favourites, but the names just appeared from somewhere and stuck.
-

no!!!!
We need nfe on this forum, without all his ruckus rousing we'd all just be pissing ourselves over in politeness!
Someone needs to be the blunt voice of dissent, and he's teh man for the job!
