G&L Fallout Fullerton Deluxe Bass USA Launch Edition

 

This is the second of my G&L Fallout basses. It is in the very limited launch edition Racing yellow finish with competition stripes. I would like to sell one of my bases to fund new PA gear so no trades, sorry. 

This one is in what the band call the Kill Bill finish and is indeed a killer bass. It is in excellent condition and comes with a Fender gigbag. It’s a short scale instrument that has a slightly larger body so easier to get used to if you are a long scale player. It’s light weight at 3.9kgs and very easy to play with a nice action. The rosewood board is lovely and the neck has some great figuring. Note there is no G&L paperwork with this one. There is also a small cosmetic ‘bruise’ at the upper edge of the body near the competition stripe. Hardly noticeable and not an issue that affects playability. 

Pickup preferred but I can post in the UK only if necessary at buyer’s cost. 
 

One of the two I own is to go so I’ve dropped the price.

This is my old bass, I used and enjoyed it for a good amount of gigs over a 2 year period. It sounds huge, with no dead spots and is sonically a great middle ground between Fender P, J and Stingray.

Why did I move it on, then? I'd used the bass in 2 bands that I stopped playing with around the same time. I was left with a bitter taste and wanted to rip it up and start again so to speak; I'm yet again using / doing battle with a Fender Precision. 

There's nothing quirky, student or deliberately whimsical about the Fallout design. It's louder and got a fuller spectrum than pretty well anything I've ever used. It'll do any style very well.

This really is a rare bass, according to the guitars by Leo website, G&L only dispatched 2 yellow launch editions to the UK, I’ve got one of them so this must be the other 🤔

That’s interesting to know, it’s a shame that this model seems to have been overlooked by a lot of players who want a shortscale bass. The bass-whisperer’s videos on YouTube of the Fallout show off how versatile it is. A genuine limited edition US bass for the price of an Indonesian made copy. As I said I will keep this or the blue one depending on which sells first….having played this one at rehearsal last night I may just keep them both…..

Check the guitars by Leo page, my understanding is that this page shows all the launch edition Fallouts and where they went
