Graham Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I'm not a fan of short scales, but that is very elegant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 £1799 ouch. I'll wait for the Tribute version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I like that. Cool name too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Cool bass, really like the Racing Green colour. Presumably it's hand-built at that price-point, but yes they'll do very well with a Tribute version I should think. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Might have to get one to partner my Fallout guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo_08 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Yes I believe these are hand built at Fullerton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo_08 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Bit too steep for me, US built Mustang is considerably cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 These look nice but not £1.8k nice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo_08 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) I think a tribute version a smidge under 500GBP would sell well. Maybe these a limited edition fullerton run to launch the model and then it will go out as a tribute version in a few months. I dont think there are many people dedicated to short scale basses to pay that sort of money, for most people even those who like the format I get the impression they are not their principle instrument.

burno70 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Wow - these look awesome. I do love the original mustangs with the stripe and I like these even more! I like all the colours too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandad Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Yes, I think I'll stick to my Squier VM Mustang in sunburst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I mean it’s not cheap but it’s probably what you’d expect for a Fullerton made instrument, the fact it’s a few inches shorter than a normal scale bass doesn’t mean it’s going to be much cheaper.

Trueno Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Luckily it's too expensive to fall into the GAS zone. Maybe I'll win on ernie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yeah, I was so hyped for this until finding out the price, bring out a Tribute model and I'll be all over it but at that price, it totally killed my GAS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I’m not really one for short scale but they certainly look the business 👍 Price is not surprising if they are fully built in the US. Costs money to make stuff in countries you have to pay people a reasonable wage. Edited November 9, 2019 by CamdenRob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I agree to an extent, but the Gibson DC bass is USA made, and is well under a grand, £736 to be exact. Two short scale, USA made basses with single humbuckers (both with options for changing the tone of that humbucker). The fallout does look great and sounds great in the demo video too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
