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 is built for players who need a bass that sits comfortably in the hands and cuts through live without fatigue. At just , this 30" short scale bass hangs balanced and responsive, with a slim C neck profile and 9-1/2" radius maple fretboard that lets your fingers navigate all 19 frets with fluid precision. The vibrant Surf Green finish catches light on stage while the compact design delivers the punch and presence you need in any lineup.
Playability & Feel
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 encourages speed and comfort across extended playing sessions. Hard rock maple construction on both neck and fretboard adds brightness and snap to your attack, while the bolt-on neck joint ensures stable, consistent performance and easy access to higher frets for the lines that matter.
Tone & Electronics
G&L's Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickup cuts with clarity and sits in the mix across a wide dynamic range. The 3-position mini-toggle switch gives you three distinct voicings—parallel for tight punch, split-coil for articulation, and OMG mode for thick, enhanced lows—letting you dial in your sound without external gear on the gig. The Saddle-Lock bridge couples saddles together for maximum energy transfer and sustain that projects, while G&L tuning machines keep intonation locked solid through long sets and frequent tuning adjustments.

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.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
