A short-scale bass with versatile tones and easy playability.
The G&L Fullerton Deluxe Fallout shortscale electric bass brings thundering low end and supple playability together in one incredible package. This 30" scale 4-string bass has a tonewood combination of alder body and maple neck that provides balanced resonance with clear, singing sustain. The G&L Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickup can be switched between parallel, split and overdrive modes via the 3-position mini-toggle, allowing you to shape your tone for any genre. With its short scale length, the Fullerton Deluxe Fallout feels natural and comfortable whether you're a seasoned bassist or just starting out. The Saddle-Lock bridge offers rock-solid intonation, while the G&L Ultra-Lite tuners make tuning adjustments a breeze. Pick up the G&L Fullerton Deluxe Fallout and experience the thunderous low end and buttery playability of a short-scale bass taken to new heights.
Alder and Maple Provide Resonance and Sustain
The Fullerton Deluxe Fallout gets its balanced tone from an alder body and maple neck. Alder has a focused low-midrange punch that brings out the richness and warmth of the bass register. The clear, bright snap of maple adds crisp note articulation and singing sustain to let your notes ring out. Together this tonewood pairing gives you the best of both worlds - fat low end, defined mids and clear treble. The 30" short scale accentuates the comfortable feel and lets the tonewoods resonate freely. You'll love the vibrant, even response as you dig into the strings. Whether playing intricate basslines or holding down the groove, this bass serves up serious versatility.
Revolutionary Short 30" Scale for Comfortable Playing
The Fullerton Fallout's 30" scale length makes it one of the easiest to play short-scale basses available. The shorter scale length means less tension on the strings, allowing for effortless fretting and bending. This makes the Fallout an excellent choice for players with smaller hands who want the thunderous low-end of a bass guitar. Its smooth satin finish maple neck and 9.5" radius maple fingerboard further enhance playability. And while it excels as an introductory instrument, the Fallout has plenty of tonal range to appeal to experienced bassists as well.
Dial In Your Tone With the Versatile Magnetic Field Design Pickup
The G&L Magnetic Field Design humbucking pickup gives you the versatility to craft your ideal bass tone for any musical context. Switch between parallel, split coil and overdrive modes with the 3-position mini-toggle switch. Parallel mode provides a thick, rounded tone perfect for funk and Motown-style grooves. Split coil mode utilizes just one coil of the pickup for a brighter, more articulate sound that cuts through the mix. Overdrive mode really makes this shorty scream, adding gain and compression for a punchy growl reminiscent of a cranked amplifier. Whether you need a smooth, soulful thump or an aggressive bite to cut through heavy guitars, the G&L Magnetic Field Design pickup has you covered.
Hardware Built for Rock-Solid Intonation and Tuning Stability
The Fullerton Deluxe Fallout is equipped with road-ready hardware designed to keep you in tune through marathon gigs and long recording sessions. The G&L Saddle-Lock bridge has individual saddles that are firmly locked in place for precise intonation up and down the neck. Once set, your intonation will remain rock-solid gig after gig. G&L Ultra-Lite tuners provide ultra-smooth and precise tuning control. Their lightweight design lessens headstock heaviness for improved balance and comfort over long playing sessions. Keeping a short-scale bass in tune can be tricky, but the Saddle-Lock bridge and Ultra-Lite tuners make it hassle-free so you can focus on playing your best.
