The G&L Custom Shop Fallout Shortscale Bass – Candy Apple Red w/ Racing Stripe is a stunning fusion of retro attitude, modern craftsmanship, and serious low-end punch—all packed into a shortscale format that’s as comfortable as it is powerful. Handcrafted by the elite artisans at the G&L Custom Shop, this bass is a bold visual and sonic statement, designed for players who crave distinctive looks, premium playability, and tonal versatility.
The body is crafted from swamp ash, a time-tested tonewood known for its balanced resonance, strong mids, and impressive clarity. Finished in a dazzling Candy Apple Red with a sharp racing stripe, the Fallout Shortscale turns heads on any stage or in any studio. The lightweight body, paired with G&L’s proprietary Saddle Lock bridge, offers incredible sustain and rock-solid intonation, ensuring every note punches through the mix with authority. Accented with gold hardware and white pearl S-type knobs, the aesthetic is both luxurious and bold, giving the bass a vintage-hot rod vibe with modern precision.
At the heart of its exceptional tone is the G&L Magnetic Field Design (MFD) humbucking pickup, delivering a wide tonal spectrum—from thick, thunderous lows to snappy, articulate highs. The 3-position mini-toggle switch gives players access to parallel, split coil, and the aggressive “OMG” mode, which delivers increased output and low-end growl for those moments when you want to shake the room. Paired with master volume and tone controls, this bass offers surprising versatility for everything from funk and soul to punk, rock, and beyond.
The neck is a dream to play, crafted from quartersawn roasted maple and topped with a beautiful rosewood fretboard. The G&L Medium C profile (with a depth of .820" at the 1st fret and .940" at the 12th) and a 1 5/8" bone nut width provide a comfortable grip for all hand sizes. The 9.5" fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets strike the perfect balance between vintage feel and modern playability, while the white pearl bound block inlays add a classy visual touch. A satin clear finish on the back of the neck ensures smooth navigation, and the matching Candy Apple Red headstock ties the whole look together.
Tuning stability and lightweight feel are ensured by the G&L Ultra Lite tuners, which provide precise tuning and reduce overall headstock weight, making the bass even more comfortable to play. It comes strung with premium La Bella strings, chosen for their rich tone and smooth feel, rounding out the instrument’s boutique-level performance.
Every G&L Custom Shop Fallout Shortscale Bass ships with a Custom Shop Deluxe Case, offering sturdy protection and portability for the professional musician on the go.
Combining show-stopping looks, Custom Shop quality, and serious tonal muscle in a shortscale format, the G&L Custom Shop Fallout Shortscale Bass in Candy Apple Red w/ Racing Stripe is not just another bass—it’s a statement piece. Whether you're holding down the groove on stage or laying down tracks in the studio, this bass is built to inspire and perform at the highest level.
