Dude, your Thumb (far right) has the same bubinga grain style as mine! Swirly on the left and straight on the right. I thought mine was pretty unique, yours is the first I've seen which is similar!

here is my bubinga/wenge '88 Thumb NT. it has the same straigy/curly look to it just the sides are switched. haha
Lol - maybe we ought to start a straight and curly offshoot club.
I always like to think of the two sides as order and chaos - the yin yang of the bubinga world!

Whoa is me - gotta get rid of my immaculate Bart equipped 91 Thumb 5 N/T 
I broke my fretting hand wrist very badly in a skiing accident at the beginning of Feb. I managed to disassociate it as well as fracture the scaphoid. Basically I pulled the wrist out rotated it and forced it back into the joint. I needed an operation to both rebuild it and put in a pin. I've now got about 70% movement in the joint which is about as good as it's going to get - there was talk of fusing the wrist in position which would have been an end to my playing days.
Thankfully though I'm finally back playing after 6-7 months. I can handle my Sei fine as the neck is quite thin. The fretless Sei I'm having built will have the same profile. But I just can't manage the Wick anymore, it's just too uncomfortable now.
Not bitching at all, I'm so happy and grateful to be able to play at all. Just gutted I've got to get rid of a beautiful instrument (This isn't a sales pitch btw).

Here's my baby.
I was so happy I took the risk to buy this bass here. It has definitely made me a proud fan of Warwick. Although, lately I have been debating on trading this guy for a fretless 4-string. Oh well, maybe something will pop up and decide for me.

dang, you're making me regret trading that thing! 
Here is my 1998 Corvette standard 5 - just picked this up in a trade from a fellow TBer. My 4 string is getting neglected lately but I just can't leave this bass alone
The wenge\wenge neck is just unbelievable.

this has been a great bass for me so far, I have added the JAN III nut and just completed this mod over the weekend.
vintage bone saddles, plays like a dream.

Looks like I have a small Warwick family started now. Just added a fretless Corvette to my collection. It's amazing in every way
