Sorry but I've been too ADD to set up a video- so here you have it blow by blow in pics... Pardon the clutter-- I've been working a lot and was in the middle of doing the laundry, and it is on a sailboat...

Though it was late, I checked her out and the action is phenomenal-- I had heard rumors but did not imagine it was that good.

I guess I can officially apply for membership. I picked this bad boy up almost two weeks ago (just 14 hours shy) and it's a monster. I still have not actually played it plugged in, since I'm working on the road and ampless in Los Angeles. I can tell from the felt resonance in the neck and body that it's gonna KILL. It's a '97, is in PERFECT condition and I'm the 2nd owner. Steal of a price, too. What a blessing. Can't wait to sneak it back home and hope it goes unnoticed. [emoji23][emoji23]

I just got to play it plugged in for the first time last night. And what they say is true: a Thumb sounds like a Thumb. And I'm completely in love.

WOW! Congrats Ecto!!!! Stunning!

I can't imagine there are many Wicks, let alone Thumbs, on sailboats.... This makes me happy.

Have fun!! :D

I suppose in that context my post was more a striptease than unboxing! The veil was a nice touch I thought.

Thank you for your kind words.

Anybody have real world experience with tonal differences between an ovangkol-bodied Thumb and a maple-bodied Thumb?

My Bleached Blonde is weaker in the mids, but more crispi in the highs, slightly less growl in the lower area than the Ovangkol Bodied. (The Blonde is a 4String, the Ovangkol-Thumb a 5er)
I can not tell how much difference is caused by the different pickup positions

Pickup position has a pretty big influence in sound. Being an electric thing, probably the biggest influence :)
