The Story
Italy’s Alusonic Instruments specializes in building basses with aluminum. That includes the Django DC model, which was made for bassist David Caraccio.
Its alder body is topped with a gold anodized aircraft-grade aluminum top, it’s also built with a hard maple neck (reinforced with aluminum rods) and a matte black epoxy lacquer fingerboard.
Electronics include a pair of Alusonic “hybrid” Alnico5/neodymium pickups with a five-way selector switch. Other features include aluminum hardware, Hipshot Ultralite tuners, and Luminlay dot inlays.
