I have this. I got lucky with a lighter weight 8 pound unit. Although unnecessary I gutted it with CTS pots, bone nut, orange drop capacitor and switch craft jack. Kept the pickups because they’re surprisingly perfect. Overall in my opinion it’s a top tier bass.

That is going to be my next bass. It’s what a bass should sound like . . . a bass. Beautiful tone. Leo Fender did an awesome job when he designed that pup. After all, he was into electronics before he started out designing and building guitars.

This is the only demo I’ve seen where a heavier gauge string was used to compensate for the shorter scale. I’m actually interested in having the strings a little looser and easier to play as my hands are getting creakier. Loved this demo!

Yes, all MFD pickups have individually adjustable pole pieces, and since it's a humbucker, you could in theory even have one coil higher than the other. I've never really done that, but it is something you could explore

Thanks for review. I do like their P Basses. Do you know who makes their pickups? For example is it a designed by Seymour Duncan? How are the pickups on the G & L? I find the Squier Jazz pickups way to noisy / hot. Review scheduled on my channel. I will see if you have any G & L reviews. I like SX basses and even cheap J & D bass is pretty good with EMGs in it. I have a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar and the Seymour Duncan p bass pickups are solid. Jazz at rear was noisy and weak - so replaced with a Ironstone Alnico and much nicer.
@ramencurry6672
@ramencurry6672 4 ай бұрын
Good question. I think the pickups are designed by Fender since Squire is a Fender company and Fender does have their own pickups department. The pickups are most likely made in Asia under Fender’s instructions. Those pickups are outstanding though

Very informative - thanks. I've been looking at getting hold of a Fallout for some time. The flats really do suit this bass well. I own a G&L M-2000 (quite rare these days) so I know the scope of the MFD pickups - excellent performance and certainly rank among the best I've played. Well, it looks like I'm sold on the Fallout - you should invoice G&L for commission! Thanks again, Chris.

Nice review. Appreciate you keeping things simple and the riff consistent throughout the video and thank you for demonstrating it with flats. I keep going back and forth on this bass (both the tribute and the USA) and just can't make up my mind but.....based on the tones you were getting in this video, I now think if I do end up with one it will be the tribute at about half the cost of the USA version so there's one question answered. I also understand that even though it's "short scale" it's actually quite a bit larger overall than other short scales with maybe just the bridge moved towards the neck. Does it feel like a regular size bass in hand? I have no where close by that actually has one I can hold and play. Was there anything you didn't particularly like about it? Again thanks for the demonstration. Great job
@hammerbass1470
@hammerbass1470 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, the instrument is laid out so that it sits far enough out that it does feel closer to a long scale bass than you might expect, so it's not a huge adjustment to switch back and forth. I guess a combination of the body size, horn placement and bridge placement help with that. The only tiny thing that I don't like as well as I might is the satin neck finish. I'm a big fan of gloss maple boards, and the Indonesian shop actually does a really nice gloss. I would have preferred that, but I do understand that most players prefer the satin

May I know if you went with Fullerton or Tribute model? I still can't decide. What makes the Fullerton twice the price with the Tribute using the same pickup and bridge. Fit and finish? I understand that import use probably cheaper and electronics and hardware, but I'm sure it's good enough. If they have the Tribute in black with maple fretboard I'll do it now, but too bad that combination is only for Fullerton.
@michrun
@michrun 2 жыл бұрын
@@wcheng4927 If this question was directed to me, I personally went with the tribute. This video helped me with that decision as I just couldn't see paying more than twice as much for the Fullerton, and am completely satisfied. One of the big cost savings, as I understand it, is that the tribute is assembled in Indonesia with not much, if any, differences in parts. This isn't my main bass so the tribute was more a want than a need, plays really nice, sounds great with flats, and the cost left me with no buyer remorse. I like a rosewood fingerboard and, like you, wish there were more color options but being that I didn't have a black bass that's what I opted for.

@@michrun yes, thanks for your response! I read somewhere that G&L switched to a new business model not too long ago hence the Fullerton Deluxe (probably similar to Fender's Am Std) - limited color options, no more hard case, and not PLEK'd at the factory. I have never played any G&L but people seem to really like it over Fender. How is the fret work on your Tribute? Neck fits in the pocket snugly with no real gap in between? Plan to keep it as my only bass, sold my Mustang Bass, going to sell my Starfire Bass (great studio bass, not the most comfortable at band practice let alone shows) very soon to fund this. I like the versatility of the single MFD pickup, and the ergonomic of a standard scale bass on a short scale.
