G&L Tribute Fallout Short Scale Bass Candy Apple Red

G&L Tribute Fallout Short Scale Bass in Candy Apple Red

The G&L Tribute Fallout delivers exceptional playability in a compact package, with a 30" short-scale design that feels comfortable and responsive in hand. Built for players who need genuine tone and ergonomic ease, this bass combines lightweight construction with the kind of punchy character that cuts through in any setting. The striking Candy Apple Red finish makes a visual statement while the instrument's balanced weight and slim neck profile reward hours of playing.

Design & Construction

A basswood body paired with a 30" short-scale maple neck creates a lightweight, balanced instrument with excellent sustain. The maple fingerboard features G&L's CLF 1-5/8" slim C profile with a 9-1/2" radius, delivering smooth playability across the fretboard while the bolt-on neck joint ensures reliable stability and classic tone transfer.

Electronics & Tone

A single MFD (Magnetic Field Design) humbucker in the middle position pairs with a 3-way selector switch offering parallel, split-coil, and OMG modes—giving you tonal range from modern clarity to vintage growl. The Saddle-Lock bridge enhances resonance and sustain, while G&L tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability. Stock stringing uses D'Addario nickel roundwound short-scale strings (.045–.065–.080–.100) for balanced brightness and response.
