G&L Tribute Fallout Short Scale Bass – Olympic White

The G&L Tribute Fallout feels natural in the hands immediately—its compact 30" short scale reduces reach and fatigue while the slim C neck profile with 9.5" radius delivers a comfortable, responsive playing experience. The pairing of a poplar body and hard rock maple neck creates a resonant, stable foundation that translates clearly through any amplifier.

Playability & Build

A slim C neck profile combined with the 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard provides the kind of natural feel that works equally well for groove work and melodic exploration. The Saddle-Lock bridge—originally designed by Leo Fender—enhances sustain and note definition by maximizing component contact, while G&L tuning machines with tapered posts maintain consistent tuning stability through extended sessions.

Tone & Electronics

The G&L Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickup delivers impressive output and clarity across the frequency spectrum. Its 3-position mini-toggle switch provides instant access to series, split, and parallel modes—ranging from tight, balanced tones to warm, rounded textures and aggressive low-end punch, making tonal adaptation immediate and intuitive.
