About the Vēa 4 - Essential - Porsche AURUM
The Vēa 4 Essential – Porsche Aurum is a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic P-style bass, finished in a luxurious Porsche Aurum Gold — a subtle, aged metallic tone borrowed from the world of high-performance design. Its muted gold surface shifts gently with light, revealing understated depth rather than flash, a finish that speaks of precision and restraint.
Built in France, the Vēa 4 Essential focuses on balance, reliability, and musical clarity. Its symmetrical body ensures natural comfort whether standing or seated, while the carefully selected tonewoods deliver a warm, centered voice with articulate mids and smooth highs. Every detail, from the seamless neck joint to the clean hardware layout, reflects the Essential philosophy — functional design refined to its purest form.
This is a bass built for musicians who value craft over ornament and tone over excess — timeless by design, and unmistakably Belforti.

Colors
Porsche Aurum
The Aurum finish is a refined metallic gold inspired by Porsche’s classic palette, reinterpreted for lutherie with a subtle, aged character.
Unlike bright or brash metallics, Aurum carries a muted, satin depth that shifts gently between warm champagne and antique bronze under light.
Its surface reflects sophistication rather than shine — evoking precision engineering and timeless design more than ornament.
When applied to an instrument, it adds quiet confidence: luxury expressed through restraint.
Elegant, understated, and deeply modern — Aurum embodies the balance between craftsmanship and performance.
Outer Space Black
A deep, velvety black inspired by the infinite darkness of outer space. This color captures the profound, inky blackness of the universe beyond our atmosphere, where light is scarce and the void is all-encompassing. It evokes a sense of mystery, vastness, and the unknown, perfect for designs that seek to convey an otherworldly or cosmic theme, embodying the limitless expanse and enigma of the cosmos.
