|  | Registered Renaissance Man | | Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: New Jersey | | So my '98 Thumb Bolt On 5 showed up yesterday. One word - WOW. I owned an '02 Thumb Bolt On 5 a while back and sold it due to financial reasons. It was nothing compared to this model. Everything seems "right" about the '98. The thinner 100% Wenge neck, the crazy figured Ovangkol body, the sound, the weight - it's all delicious.
Also - I must say that NOTHING sounds like a Thumb. You either love it or hate it, and I absolutely adore it.
Edit: Forgot to mention: the previous owner had the bass strung E-C - weird! I got it and was very confused when I wasn't able to tune the 5th string to a B. Ordered up some 45-135 Black Label's which should be here soon!
Here are some photos which do the bass little justice.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Tasmania, Australia | | | I'm in (pics to come) with my $$ Corvette 4. I've had it for a few yrs now & it sometimes sits unused for long periods. But everytime I get it out again, it floors me. So good!
Does so many tones, & ALL of 'em great. Passive & active.

Warwick & Framus Social Media | | | | | Yes, of course! For some reason it wasn't registering, thrown by the pickup combination. Great bass! Thanks for sharing. |
