Classic is good. Your body design is your own but it's certainly classic rather than modern. Fender doesn't seem to claim a trademark on its Classic and Classic Player series names, just on the specific model name. Probably too generic for a trademark.

OTOH Liverpool will get you a C&D from John Hall if he were to notice it. And you want to be noticed by the bass-playing public.

My thoughts on "Classic" is you might as well just name it "Bass".

An original design deserves an original name.

How a bout Blackburn Bass, or Sixty-Four?

Since you are the Doc, you must use medical related names for your creations, I think. Maybe "Panacea" would be a nice name for an all-around (2-pickup) bass.
I'd name one "Frankenstein", but on the other hand I have a weird sense of humor, so...

Also you could do what Beatles did, take a common word like "Beetles" and change it to "Beatles". "Liverpool" can be "Leeverpool" or something.
I wouldn't change "Classic" much thru, everything that includes "ass" must be whole...

Well, steering clear of anything medical.  Got enough of that in my personal life to last me forever!
