hi, i just installed an OBP-3 on my thumb bass BO5. i didnt want to drill a new hole for the mid boost so i hid it inside where the preamp is. will it be ok to drill a new hole? will it affect the sound of wood? suggestions pls. thank you

If you wire it like the OBP-3SK/PP, then no drilling is needed. The OBP-3SK/PP has the bass and treble on a stacked pot; the mid is on its own push/pull pot. This would leave your third hole open for a stacked master volume/blend pot, which you already have if you still have the Thumb's original electronics.

Edit: I forgot that the Thumb BO does not have a stacked master volume/blend pot. Only the NT has that setup. So, you'd have to purchase a stacked pot that you can use for this function.
