Isn't that the same seller that had the Alembic necklace pendant a while back?

That logo was never intended for a peghead - there's no posts on the back. Looks like a broken pendant, there's a small notch at the top of the cloud where the original ring would have been.

Matthew; to answer your question, Alembic does not approve of selling headstock logos.  At one point, Alembic was selling pendants of the logo, which they ceased when they realized some were finding their way onto non-Alembic instruments.  In this case, the logo in question is a pendant rather than a headstock logo.

Honestly, I'd buy one in a heart beat. I understand the importance but there has to be a better way to verify. You could use a zoom room and show your bass on live video. Shipping is out of control price wise and they're not gentle any more. You're more likely to end up with a repair.

WTF are you talking about?

a thought:


 My guess  was that he has an Alembic that needs a Logo, but wouldn't want to ship it to
allow Alembic to verify the Logo was going to be put on a bonafide Alembic.
  At first I thought it was one of those word salad spam posts, but the request for off-site verification
makes some sense.  Maybe English isn't his first language.

The post was full of spam-like wording, but elwoodblue's interpretation might be valid.

My guess is that if you can document it properly, you can get one.
