Title: Newest pin coming soon - JE Spider bass
Post by: mica on January 07, 2021, 12:30:50 PM
Something fun! My new pins have arrived, but I'm still waiting for the packaging from the printers. Thought you might want a sneak peek at something fun today. Probably going to ready to ship near the end of the month. I'll announce here on the Club first when they are available.

It's a big pin - 3.125 inches long, but it's the same relative scale as the Brown Bass pin.

That looks awesome Mica! Glad to see the strings are properly intonated too!

Mica,
wow cool!
Must have plse!
Although the note for note inlays are missing!
What color do the side LED‘s have? :-)

Thank you very much.
Greetings from Germany.

Yeah, I tried to cram those inlays in there, but it's really too small. They looked like messy blobs and mistakes, so I've got a representative dot for each one.

LEDs - hahaha!  Everything is slow because of people figuring out how to work in spite of the COVID crisis, so I'm awaiting the packaging now.

We will start shipping these pins next week! Place your order on our web store (https://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/spiderpin.html) especially if you are getting two pins. When I put these in our Reverb store there won't be any discount for ordering two at the same time.

These look soooo cool in person!

Also......thanks for the reduction in shipping cost for buying 2 at the same time.

No worries. The shipping in the current online store is wonky. It will be a different platform later in the year, so hopefully it will be less trouble for shipping charges.

I think it will be about $13 for airmail.

I just this minute got my pin! It’s beautiful. And the little ‘extras’ total class. Of course, it’s alembic.

Thank you so much,
Peter H.  :D :D :D

I just noticed the serial # and birthdate on the back. This is how Alembic/Mica does things!

I received my pin a few days ago but just now had a chance to examine it closely. What a terrific little pin, of course made to Alembic standards. Double pin posts so no neck dive when worn, great finish and detail, and as Pete si said, full documentation on the back. Wonderful!

Now how about a Dragon Wing!

A dragon wing would be awesome. Put me down for one!

I really appreciate the detail that goes into these. I have this really old upright bass pin I sometimes wear on gigs that's kinda' like that... had it so long I can't even remember not having it. A good luck charm of sorts. I actually have two of them, in case it ever got lost.

I know it must be incredibly time-consuming, but next time you are doodling ideas, another cool commemorative Alembic pin would be the 'Continuously Fretted' Omega Series bass McVie used for The Chain, and a good portion of the Rumours album. I'll take two.  ;)

(You know, if these were packaged as a set... Clarke, Entwistle, King, etc... could be a gift thing.)

I'm celebrating the arrival of my pin with the same show I watched 40 years ago ...

The stuff you don't remember, like the Grateful Dead also playing, with Pete Townshend joining them for the final One More Saturday Night.
