G&L Tribute Fallout Short Scale Bass Jet Black

G&L Tribute Fallout Short Scale Bass – Jet Black

The Fallout Short Scale Bass delivers a compact, ergonomic playing experience built around a 30" scale length that reduces hand fatigue and suits players favoring tight, controlled feel. Its slim C neck profile and 9.5" radius fingerboard combine for smooth playability across extended sessions. The jet black finish with roasted jatoba fingerboard presents a refined, purposeful aesthetic backed by serious sonic capability.

Playability & Build

The hard rock maple neck paired with a poplar body creates a balanced foundation offering both stability and responsive tone. At 8.6 lbs, the instrument sits comfortably for standing or seated play, while the 1.625" nut width accommodates standard short scale string spacing. 19 frets provide ample range for most bass lines, and the Saddle-Lock bridge with chrome-plated brass saddles increases sustain and couples string vibration directly into the body for enhanced resonance.

Tone & Electronics

The G&L Magnetic Field Humbucker pickup captures detailed output with minimal noise, while the 3-way toggle switch selects parallel, split, or series configurations—delivering everything from tight, articulate attack to deep, powerful lows. G&L Ultra-lite tuners with aluminum posts maintain tuning stability through extended sets, and the instrument ships strung with D'Addario nickel roundwound short scale strings (.045–.100) for immediate, balanced playability.
