maybe it's just the angle, but ThirdThumb's thumb looks more bulbous than mine in the bottom areas.

Some (extremely rushed) shots of my new '07 Thumb NT5. Hopefully I'll be able to talk my wife into some more flattering shots next weekend (she's much handier with a camera than I am.)

Her name is "Weesie" after the mutt whose face you see in my avatar (who was put down about a week before I got the Thumb.) I can almost feel the Thumb's tail wagging when I play something particularly tasty :)

Thanks guys!. I've been taking the first-week waxing regimen pretty seriously, and each day when I wake up I swear she looks better than the day before! I've had her in my hands for about four days now and she's been getting the Warwick wax in the morning and Howard Feed-n-Wax at night. Three more days of that and I'll back it off to once a week for a month, and once a month thereafter. The only down side to all this is that I'm putting off fine-tuning the setup until I'll actually have the strings on at tension for more than 12 hours straight :)
 
need.... a.... second.... thumb.... nt.... but.... this..... time..... with.... natural.... oil.... finish....... aaaaaaarrrrgghhh sweet!
 
Normally wouldn't say anything but...Damn :shock: that's perfect.
 
I really should wax my Thumb... Not done it yet and I've had her a month. What's the best way to wax a bass, because I've never had to do it before.

When applying the Warwick wax, I've been taking a t-shirt material rag, folding it in half and wrapping it around my fingers (so that there are just two layers of cloth over my fingers.) I rub my rag-covered fingers on the warwick wax (with very little pressure) until some of it has gotten really soft and is just about to soak through th fabric. Then I rub the wax-covered rag right into the wood (going with the grain), and try to make sure that the heat and pressure from my fingers keeps the wax nice and warm and soft as I'm rubbing it in. When I'm not leaving any wax behind me, I dip back into the tin and collect a bit more and repeat until I've got the entire surface. I little definitely goes a long way, I figure I'm using enough if right after I've applied it, I can just barely see a layer of wax on the wood. I leave it to sit for a few minutes (at least until the layer of wax is very tacky to the touch.) After that, it's time to buff, which generally involves another (clean) rag and some good old-fashioned elbow grease. To buff it out, I use the same approach as applying the wax (excluding that part where I rub the rag in the tin of wax.)

That's just me though... the instructions on the wax and Warwick bass owner's manual are less than explicit, so I could be doing it completely wrong! The first time I tried applying the Warwick wax I used way too much and spent about 40 minutes buffing it all off.
