Don't you mean crikey?

He's not a Brit.

Mine's not that bad - prior to my acquisition, it got bumped on the top of the headstock.....

...... which, I've always assumed was what caused these.....

.....but I've had it for about two & a half years, with no increase in the damage & no apparent ill effects on the functionality

The finish is thick poly. It is about as durable as they come until you crack it. Then it does what yours did. The wood can flex but the poly doesn't. If the wood is cracked on your Thunderbird, I would be surprised.

The proper Oz term is bugga.

The proper Oz term is bugga.

I did not know this.
Freak New Yorker here with limited cultural understandings.
Along with my poor grammar and spelling.

The proper Oz term is bugga.

I want to hear that straight from the roos mouth.

Crikey was what Steve Irwin used to say, so wonder if it's not a Aussie term. I must be related to Jeff (other than the NYC part), and have no idea beyond that. But I'm related to a good brother!

Please don't mind my editing of your OP.

Feeling is mutual Donnie.

Great head for sure, but my dollars will go elsewhere gear wise.

It wasn’t that link I was trying to post. It was the one for the PH410. It would be stellar with your Carbine.

The latest forecast for our mountain place:
“Between 2 and 5 feet of snow is expected, a figure that could even reach 7 feet above 4,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.

Six to 12 inches is expected between 2,500 and 4,000 feet, and 1 to 6 inches is expected between 1,500 and 2,500 feet, the weather service said.

The storm is also bringing rain to the Southern California coasts and valleys, and strong winds are in the forecast for the mountains, foothills, coasts and valleys.”

Our place is at 6,000 feet. I’m glad I’m off the mountain.

Great machine heads, have em on 2 basses.

I am very loyal/support companies who do it right; Gotoh, Hipshot, Schaller, Sperzel, D'Addario, Novak, Pat Wilkins and our very own Scott Dassons' Badbird bridge... to name a few.

Not a bad looking bicentennial clone in my neighborhood. I'm outta bass money currently. Doesn't stop me from looking though.

You and me both. I believe that is a good price.

Ah, gotcha Marshall.
Not a fan of all speakers being 10's.
Found that out the hard way.

Now the PH 212, we can talk.

Yeah, i had this crazy rig.

 

[MCF]

Those are the recent DeCola pickups. They are fantastic pickups. Somebody will be happy with those.

Yep.

 

[MCF]

LOVE Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds! Especially around Let Love In.

The Austin City Limits show he did was great.

Jeez. That is pretty awesome.

 

[MCF]

You have a white VP (or better still, T-Bird) you are considering selling? I could find myself passing through the Sac area sometime soon…

So there you go. I have two Kara Thunderbirds and couldn’t be happier. Both are somewhat rare.

 

[MCF]

I agree - a document you can hold in your hands, not just 'exists' "in the cloud".

“Vinyl is better.” Bumper stickers should be issued.

No, Crikey works - we use it here though not as much as earlier generations

 

[Engle]

Yep.

I guess that makes me a somebody! I bought one set.

And a great album.
