Sound & Tone
The 30" short scale and basswood body give this bass a fat, punchy midrange with quick note bloom, while the hard rock maple neck and fretboard add brightness and snap to the attack, and the Saddle-Lock bridge keeps notes sustaining cleanly. The single Magnetic Field Design humbucker covers a lot of ground through its three-way toggle: parallel for tight, focused punch, split-coil for a more articulate, vocal midrange, and OMG mode for thick low-end heft. Fitted with nickel roundwounds, it suits punk, indie, garage rock and pop sessions, and works well for guitarists moving over to bass or anyone wanting a lighter, faster-feeling instrument with plenty of tonal options.
G&L Tribute Fallout Short Scale Bass in Surf Green
The G&L Tribute Fallout captures tight, articulate bass tones in a 30" short scale design that translates exceptionally well to recording and mixing contexts. Weighing just , this instrument responds with immediacy and precision under the microphone, while the slim C neck profile and 9-1/2" radius maple fretboard enable quick session work across all 19 frets without fatigue. The vibrant Surf Green finish delivers striking visual character in your studio setup.
Recording Response & Playability
The neck dimensions—1-5/8" width at the nut, 2.11" at the 12th fret, and 0.84" to 0.91" thickness—create a streamlined profile that supports precision fingerwork and reduces hand tension during multi-take sessions. Hard rock maple construction on both neck and fretboard adds brightness and definition to your recorded attack, while the bolt-on neck joint ensures stable intonation stability and accommodates tracking in higher registers without compromise.
Tone Shaping & Studio Versatility
G&L's Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickup delivers clarity and consistent output across dynamic playing styles, tracking cleanly from soft fingerstyle passages through aggressive pick work. The 3-position mini-toggle switch unlocks three distinct voicings—parallel for punchy, focused lows, split-coil for articulation and note definition, and OMG mode for thick, enhanced bass character—allowing you to craft and switch tones within a session without reamping. The Saddle-Lock bridge couples saddles together for maximum energy transfer and sustain, while G&L tuning machines maintain rock-solid intonation through extended recording and overdub work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scale length is this bass, and who should consider a short scale?
The Fallout is 30 inches, making it 2–3 inches shorter than standard 34-inch basses. Players with smaller frames, those gigging in tight spaces, or anyone seeking a more comfortable neck reach without sacrificing tonal depth benefit most from this design.
What do the three mini-toggle switch modes do?
Parallel mode delivers tight punch; split-coil mode unlocks articulate, clear definition; and OMG mode boosts thick, enhanced lows. You can dial in the right voicing for your style, venue, or song within seconds during performance or recording.
What comes with the bass, and what strings does it use?
It ships with factory-fitted D'Addario nickel roundwound short-scale strings gauged .045–.065–.080–.100. You'll need short-scale replacement strings in the future, as standard 34-inch string sets will not fit the shorter bridge saddles.
How does the neck feel, and is it suitable for beginners?
The slim C-profile neck with a 1-5/8-inch nut width and 9-and-a-half-inch radius is designed for comfort and speed, making it accessible to beginners while remaining responsive enough for intermediate and advanced players. The compact 30-inch scale makes it easier on the hands and arms during long sessions.
What makes the Saddle-Lock bridge special?
The Saddle-Lock bridge couples saddles together to maximize energy transfer from string to body, resulting in enhanced sustain and clear definition so your notes cut through live and in recordings.
