That's a nope from me.

[Graham]

I'm not a fan of short scales, but that is very elegant

[Low End Bee]

£1799 ouch. I'll wait for the Tribute version.

[franzbassist]

I like that.  Cool name too.

[Sibob]

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

[gary mac]

Might have to get one to partner my Fallout guitar.

[Bobo_08]

Yes I believe these are hand built at Fullerton 

[Bobo_08]

Bit too steep for me, US built Mustang is considerably cheaper. 

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

These look nice but not £1.8k nice

[Bobo_08]

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.

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!

 

[grandad]

Yes, I think I'll stick to my Squier VM Mustang in sunburst.

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]

Luckily it's too expensive to fall into the GAS zone. Maybe I'll win on ernie.

[Dosi Y'Anarchy]

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 

[CamdenRob]

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.

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
