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.
