Why my Bass Guitar is a Bad Boy Yardie

After some consideration as to what my Bass guitar's name might be (BB King's guitars were all Lucille) along comes an incident that has made it clear.

It came to me like a bolt to the head.

I had been up late playing my bass when I decided to call it a night. I put the bass down shut off the light in that room and in the semi dark I reached for the bass only to have the E-string tuning peg hit me over my right eye. Obviously it is a bad boy yardie trying to kill me in the dark, it was only the fact that I had a firm grip on the neck of the guitar at the time that I survived. But I have a black eye now.

So in keeping with the fact that BonsaiGirl suggested that bass guitars have boy's names it is now Lincoln.

This also has the benefit of giving it some bluesy credibility as in the American automobile.
