Thanks for the suggestion - this is not something I had on my radar. I've owned a couple of Ibanez over the years and been quite impressed. While I know that everything is constantly changing with all manufacturers of any product - I honestly forgot all about them as they're not stocked locally.

Thank you. You're thoughts on strings are very helpful. I'm strongly leaning towards the G&L.

Tremendous input. Sadly, with Covid dampening the retailers desire to carry inventory - even here in Vegas with Sam Ash and 2 GC's - finding a short scale in stock is a challenge. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a 30" G&L, Supro or Reverend in person. I have owned both Fender and G&L Guitars and...

Nice demo. Thanks!

Game; Set; Match!

I agree - Fallout simply looks better!

40+ years ago I preferred the "ergonomics" of some guitars... now at 67 - it's an imperative!

Arm Cut? Great! That's one of the reasons I "physically" preferred playing Strats instead of Tele or LP. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you - I'll do more research on the L-1000 - still learning all I can!

I'm new to the world of short-scale Bass guitars. I've tried a 32" Jaguar but am thinking of going for a 30" due to my physical limitations. I've noticed the G&L Fallout Tribute and the 60's Squier Classic Vibe Mustang "seem" to be identical in body size and shape. If you've had experience with...
