Finally, my Stanley Clarke Sig Standard 5-string:

I thought I'd go for a slightly different angle on my headstock. She's a MK Sig Dlx.

Thanks for reviving this thread edwardofhuncote - now I can share my Stanley Clarke headstock - upgraded to Signature Squared:

Harry, Jazzy reminded me of it in another thread a couple weeks ago... -I was obsessing over logo placement at the time- anyway, I hope to be adding a cocobolo-faced 3+2 Elan headstock to this thread soon. ;D  Though I have no idea where the logo will end up. I decided to stop thinking about it, and just enjoy the surprise.   ::)


*nice Stanley Squared Sig. We just saw it's maple twin on ebay and Reverb today.

What is/ was the criteria for which headstocks had the medallion and which ones had the medallion w/ script?

I think the 'script' badges first appeared in 1987 or so... but I don't know if there ever was/is an ironclad rule about them from model to model. There are a couple older basses that have retrofit script badges too. Keavin's old #12 comes to mind. I see FC's Wild-Walnut 1977 Series has one too.

Here is my latest headstock picture.

Gregory: Indeed 1987 (second half iirc) They stopped around 2003, but the script is always available on request.
Most older instruments with script got them while under repair/being modified at the mothership I think, I added the ones on mine myself (on the '79 SI and '83 Spoiler)
A friend of mine has a Jeweler shop and some high tech 3d scanning/printing equipment, so it was pretty easy for him to replicate them in Silver and Brass. :-) (Brass should have been bronze I think, that one is a bit too goldish yellow compared to the logo)

Spoiler Alert

1985 Spoiler. I really love this bass and it's my first Alembic. Only waited until I was 55 to join the club. Better late than never.
