OK, I'm a little behind in my 50th Anniversary celebrations, but I'm working out the logistics - more on The Gathering(s) later.
Today, I'm leaking a couple of photos of a cool item that'll be available in our store later tonight for preorder, and will be shipping no later than the week of April 29th. There's a bit of packaging to do and readying for getting a huge pile of these out, but I had to share on the Alembic Club first. So, here's my 50th Anniversary enamel pin. Hope you love them!
Up on the store (http://club.alembic.com/bit.ly/alembic50) now.

Ooooh. 8)
Look closely at the pin on my vest Saturday night. Vintage edition?
-
Greg - Yes, that is a vintage true cloisonné pin that back then cost us almost as much as we charge for the enamel logo ones now! I think there's only 250 of those vintage pins (I only have 2 of them).
-
Just ordered mine via Instagram.
Congratulations to Ron and Susan on their amazing journey. You made a lasting positive impact on the world.
-
Happy Birthday to ALEMBIC ! ,
May the resonance and jubilant tidings of the occasion continue to sustain eternally .
I send my best wishes and congratulations to Ron and Susan , Mica and family and Mary and the entire Alembic Crew . The Pin is beautiful , I will like to purchase one ,
-
Happy 50th Anniversary.
All the best to Ron, Susan and Mica
-
Wahooo...nice collectable! All the very best for the cloud, the dragon, the prism, the rays, the fist...and for sure for .... Alembic!!!
-
Oh Boy. very tempted. Any idea how much shipping to the UK might be Mica? I remember the shipping bill for the cloth patch was nearly as much as the patch itself.

Hang fire Jacko, I'm in the processing of a larger order from mica so she could drop yours in my package and I will post it to you from the UK.
-
That would be brilliant V.
cheers
Graeme
-
I guess if a few more UK members want them I could do the same. Just let me know as I hope to finalise my order in a few days once I can find the space to call mica again.
-
Just ordered mine!
Bill, tgo

Loved your ladie's pic on bass amp head. Hope you treat her better than Nelson did all those years, Edward.

Well, cool! It popped up in my Reverb feed a while back, and I just thought it would wear well on my suede vests... had no idea they were so scarce or even if it was genuine item. (had a pretty good idea though...) Just ordered myself a new one. :)
Not sure how much your folks look at the Alembic Club here, but please let them know how much I appreciate 50 years of dedication to Excellence. Makes me so proud every time I put one of your basses over my shoulder. Meeting you, and playing them has been a life-changing experience.
-
Ordered mine!
50 years of excellence is an extraordinary achievement.
Well Done folks.

My 50th Anniversary pin arrived in the mail. Beautiful work and, appropriately, packed in a jewelry box! Happy 50th to the elves of Santa Rosa ... looking forward to wearing it to the Northern California gathering later this year!
Bill, tgo

I got notice Friday my 50th Anniversary pin is on the way. ;D
Following up on the comment a little further up-thread regarding my older Alembic pin... it is an earlier version, but not the rarer vintage cloisonné pin Mica thought, just one from a few years ago. It is however, the perfect splash of color and style on my tan suede vest, so I'll leave it there, and put the 50th Anniversary pin on my brown one. Wear both with pride of course!
-
Yeah, after I emailed Greg about my error later that night - I realized there was no Alembic script under the logo on his pin. Sorry for the false alarm!
-
Got mine!! (Beautiful!)
-
Yay! I was so glad we were able to start shipping these out slightly earlier than anticipated. Also glad that you are liking them, I was so happy with how they turned out.
Now we have the next "fun thing" to share, and of course on the Alembic Club first! This highly detailed pin of Stanley Clarke's bass will probably be ready for our online store this Friday. It's not exactly tiny at 2.75" long, but it fits nicely on a jean jacket - I've been wearing the sample on mine for a week, and it's started many a conversation, people really do notice it. I'll post here first when they are ready for prime time!
-
This is wonderful! I will take one of the Stanley bass and 50th anniversary pins :). Or just order them online. Beautiful detail!!
-
Love the detail...like only two visible screws per pickup :D
I guess I'd be pushing it asking for fretboard LEDS,
(hides behind couch).
-
I ordered an anniversary pin too. I will be checking the mailbox daily...….
-
Does it come with a tiny blue box and cord? That would be too cool!
Bill, tgo
-
No blue box (I really did consider it!), but I did manage to get all 24 frets! In addition to Kris' eagle-eyes seeing the 2 visible screws on the pickups, there's a few other Easter eggs in the pin artwork for the true Stanley/Alembic nerds.
-
5 pins on the 5 pin jack!
-
Single truss rod.
-
5 pins on the 5 pin jack!
Yes! That was actually the hardest detail for the manufacturer.
-
Single truss rod.
Yes! And with no truss rod cover of course.
-
I'm guessing those settings will bring a nice Stanley tone. (?)
-
Mica....how were these shipped? I ordered 2 pins....are the two boxes in a flat pack? or a cardboard box? I have a locking mailbox the has a 2" "mouth" to accept small packages. I'm on the road for another week so was wondering if the pins are sitting on my front porch....
-

Yes! These are where Stan had some small stickers on this bass in 1987 as reference points.

They are in a small jewelry box, in a padded envelope. If you ordered 2 pins, they would be side by side in the envelope and should go right in the slot provided the box has room inside. I think I saw your package last night as I left, so I can intercept it and hold it for a few days if you like (and my memory is correct).
-
THAT is cool! I might have to visit the online store this weekend.
-
Sorry, Gary! My uncle comes in really early, and he took the big load to the post office before I arrived today. I'm still pretty sure it will fit in that mail slot, the jewelry boxes are only 1" high. They should be waiting for you in your mailbox upon your return.
-
Hi Mica, when is the best time to call you so I can finalise my order. I missed you last night (here) when I called. :-)
-
Vince - if you need to reach me by phone, today would be best after 2:00 pacific time. I'm out this morning an I have a an appointment at 12:30.
-
Brown Bass pins (http://bit.ly/scbbpin) are live in the store!
Also a new sticker pack (http://bit.ly/inlaystickerpack)!
-
Since I was also born in 1969, it just makes sense to have a pin, too. This is my 50th anniversary, as well :)
- Mike B.
-
Time for a Series? Wouldn't be nice?
-
The pins are nice, like the stickers too :)
-
Accessorized! A 50th Anniversary pin, 1989 Persuader (made during the 20th Anniversary year) on a 1969 model bass player. 8)
*playing around with the photo editor this morning. ;)
-
Mica, a minor hiccup with my first order. I sent you and Mary an email yesterday. The 50th Anniversary pin is great! Anticipating the Brown Bass pin next.
Jon
-
I received mine. It looks great on my 1981 Series I.

Mica,
Say more about Gatherings!
-
Thanks , Mica , Mary and the Alembic Inc. crew . I love my PIN !
-
Big brother and little brother... or big sister and little sister, your choice :)
-
Cool! You've got a vintage logo pin there.
-
Ah, there it is! ;)
-
The vintage pin came with my first Alembic bass a 1982 Distillate, neither was vintage at the time :)
-
Yes! Ordered my 50 Pin and Stickers. What...Gatherings? Another YES!
