VEA Model | Modern Precision-Style Bass by Belforti Instruments

Power. Presence. Purity.

The Vēa redefines the Precision-style bass through Belforti’s lens of engineering and design refinement.

Compact, centered, and balanced, it delivers the familiar authority and punch of a single-pickup instrument while removing every ergonomic limitation of its predecessors.

Its symmetrical body and optimized contours improve comfort without losing the weight and impact that make this archetype timeless.

The result: a bass that feels grounded, resonant, and effortlessly responsive — classic tone, modern execution.

The Essence of Authority

Focused Design, Timeless Voice.

The Vēa channels the unmistakable presence of the classic Precision bass — that deep, unwavering tone that anchors every mix.

Its design refines that power into a more comfortable, balanced instrument, with a lighter footprint and improved upper-fret access.

Each note speaks with definition and confidence, whether delivering smooth soul lines, articulate modern grooves, or powerful rock-driven fundamentals.

From its compact body geometry to its carefully tuned resonance, the Vēa is an instrument that commands the low end with effortless precision.

Inspired by the serene strength of Ouvéa’s endless horizon.

The Vēa draws its name from Ouvéa, one of the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia — a place of striking purity where white sands and turquoise lagoons meet an endless horizon.

That landscape’s calm strength and natural symmetry reflect the essence of the Vēa bass: simple in form, profound in resonance. It’s a celebration of balance and clarity — an instrument that speaks with calm authority and enduring grace.

Available with passive or active electronics, the Vēa maintains perfect clarity and power across tunings and dynamics — built to perform, built to last.
