Thumb 5 (BO) Knobs

bassplayer22 · Jul 18, 2008

Hey guys,

I got my wooden (cocobolo with maple indicator in-lays) in today and smacked them on my Thumb. They are a little taller than the stock knobs, but I might trim them down a little. I was very suprised how well the cocobolo matches the ovangkel.

What do you think?

Wow they look cool, matches really well. Little bit tall but easily solved i guess.

Is where I ordered them from. I think for all 4 it was about $38.00 or so. You can customize them as much as you want. I wanted the maple indicator, which turned out pretty good.

Oh, and for all you lefty haters... GET OVER IT!!! What kind of bass player would you be without your left hand?

:lol:

not hating on the lefties at all. I just get really thrown off seeing lefties play guitar and golf especially.

Grgzilla · Jul 19, 2008

Hate is such a strong word.I dont think anyone really hates you guys Tim.It's just that we're so used to seeing right handed basses that when we see a lefty,it looks very strange to us.It's us righies that have the problem,not you lefties.But enough of the us & you.We're all equally bass players.

Now Nate,what sort of wierdo would I be if I kept my hands to myself eh?
Not a very wierd one.Besides,there's people that count on me to deliver their daily dose Gregness.Without it,it'd be like missing your morning (insert whatever you do first thing in the AM) :wink: :lol:
