Forte4 #169
Vintage Tint Matte
​2018
Wanting to offer a Forte that was more 'natural' in appearance, in 2018 I offered our Vintage Tint Ash color. My Forte4 #169 is one of the four Vintage Tint Forte4 basses produced in 2018. The first two were more 'natural' in appearance while the second two (#169 is one of these) had more 'Vintage Tint'.  Currently the bass is stock including Aguilar Super Single pickups & OBP-2 however I will probably change the pickups to Aguilar Super Splits in the near future.

Trans Black Stain Matte
​2018
Here is a bass I spec'd out for inventory and ultimately ended up purchasing. Ash body wings, Wide5 string spacing, EMG "X" active P/J 5st pickups, Aguilar OBP-2 active tone controls. This bass is a very comfortable 9.5 lbs!
