The Marē is Belforti’s modern take on the Jazz-style bass: familiar at first glance, radically refined in execution.
Every line, every dimension, and every technical choice is designed to improve comfort, balance, stability, and tonal consistency, without losing the musical DNA that made the original a classic.
This is not a reinterpretation for nostalgia’s sake — it is a precision instrument built for today’s players.
Elegance
Designed for players who demand both clarity and flexibility, the Marē offers a tonal range that adapts effortlessly to any style or stage.
The Marē retains the visual language of a Jazz bass, but with a reduced footprint and optimized mass distribution. Subtle changes in body outline and thickness improve balance on the strap and reduce long-session fatigue.
The result : a better center of gravity, no neck dive, and a bass that feels immediately natural, yet noticeably more controlled
Every note speaks with definition, balance, and touch-sensitive dynamics — from warm vintage tones to tight modern attack.
Expression
Every detail of the Marē has been developed to merge ergonomic comfort with sonic adaptability.
Its compact chassis hides a deeply engineered core: titanium-reinforced necks for long-term stability, invisible fret tangs for perfect feel, and a spokewheel truss system for instant, on-the-fly adjustment.
Available with passive or active Belforti electronics, the Marē responds instantly to touch and technique, delivering rich harmonic content and impeccable note definition.
From articulate studio clarity to the authority of the live stage, it remains true to one purpose — to translate every nuance of the player into effortless sound.
Marē Essential
Streamlined and expressive, the Marē Essential delivers the clarity and dynamic response of Belforti’s evolved Jazz design in its purest form.
Compact, comfortable, and focused on tone, it offers professional performance with straightforward versatility — precision without compromise.
Marē Masterbuilt
The Marē Masterbuilt refines the platform with premium tonewoods, expanded electronics, and bespoke finish options.
It combines the fluid feel of a modern instrument with the depth and definition of a studio-grade bass — crafted for demanding players who need reliability and range
Marē Signature
The Marē Signature represents the ultimate expression of the model — fully customizable, built from select materials, and finished to perfection.
Every element, from electronics to aesthetics, is tailored to the player, merging artistry and engineering into a singular, personal instrument.
Engineering the Feel
Every Belforti instrument — including the Marē — is built upon a foundation of precision, consistency, and refinement.
Regardless of configuration or series, each guitar shares the same core engineering standards that define Belforti craftsmanship.
No Heel Architecture
A refined bolt-on design with no neck heel, providing seamless access to the upper register.
The neck transitions smoothly into the body contour, allowing full reach to all 22 frets without obstruction — precision meets ergonomics.
Titanium Reinforced Necks
Each neck is internally reinforced with dual titanium rods, preserving rigidity and stability across time, travel, and climate.
Combined with carefully selected tonewoods, it maintains resonance while preventing warping or dead spots.
Invisible Fret Tangs
The fret ends are perfectly integrated into the fingerboard, eliminating protruding tangs and the need for binding.
This technique ensures a perfectly smooth edge, exceptional durability through humidity changes, and a refined aesthetic that feels as good as it looks.
Easy Truss Rod Access
For easy and precise neck relief tuning, Belforti instruments use a spokewheel truss rod system accessible directly at the heel — no need to remove strings or hardware.
It’s a professional feature born from workshop practicality, built into every instrument
