No color options, no neck inlays, no polished or shiny hardware. 
Just pure USA Spector®  Quality and Tone.
All of our USA Series™ Guitars are made by Stuart and his small group of dedicated master craftsmen. Our Neck-Thru Models are the epitome of what makes our guitars unique.

Introduced in 2010, the Forte™ models represent our desire to "strip-down" the USA Series™ basses in a way to provide a significant price-break while preserving the essence of what makes our Neck-Thru USA models so special.

Each Forte™ model is made from the same platform as its more expensive sibling.  We'd say that we've made them deliberately less beautiful, because all of the hand work involved in the distinctive abalone Crown Inlays™ and the gloss finishes isn't present in the Forte™, but honestly these models are beautiful in a purist, minimalist way. 

There's nothing to distract you from the raw beauty of the NS-Body™ shape and the depth of the Flame Maple's wood grain.  Most importantly, there's nothing to distract you from the amazing tone these basses produce.  
AVAILABLE MODELS
Forte-4™
This EMG® P/J pickup powered "no frills" version of the NS-2™ will not disappoint.  With all of the balance and construction quality of the Forte-4's famous sibling, this bass is sure to please.
Forte-4X™
This design was first created for famous former Spector® artist Nikki Sixx in the late 1980's.  For decades Stuart has received requests to bring this design back.  With the Forte-4X™ this famous Spector® design from the past is back with a vengence.
Forte-5™
The stripped-down version of the low-end powerhouse that is the NS-5XL™, the Forte-5™ has the low-end articulation needed for the most discerning bassist's ears.
Forte-5X™
The extra-long scale (35") 5-string version of the Forte-X™ design.  Powered by dual EMG® 40DC™ humbucking pickups and the Aguilar® OBP-2™ 9-volt tone circuit, this bass brings the thunder and the attitude. 
Forte-6™
Our 6-string neck-thru basses offer the greatest tonal range of any Spector® and the Forte-6™ (new for 2013!) is no exception.  Built using the NS-6XL's 35" scale platform, this bass has the right articulation from the B-string to the C-String and all point in-between.
