Ivan Mulia is an Indonesian luthier who specializes in instruments with metal. This week we\u2019re taking a look at the insanely intricate bass he calls the \u201cTTT Bass\u201d Misery 3030. The bass features finely detailed, acid-etched aluminum plates for the body top and back as well as the fretless fingerboard. Images of a woman and man are overlaid with text in English and Indonesian, which Mulia says tell a personal story. <\/p>\n

The body sides are 1-millimeter thick brass, which is also utilized for flower inlays on the pickups, top, and headstock. Other features include Hipshot tuners, a massive Aldridge Empire bridge, hand-wound Gan\u00e8\u00e9 pickups, and sliders to control the volume and tone. <\/p>\n
