I have a less polite opinion of his sound and playing that I will leave off the boards.

G&L Fallout Bass

Fretnation.com -- That's SlapinFunk here on TB, Jason Mendelson in the real world-- has them. $1699 there.
These have to be a hit. Flats would go on within 5 minutes of purchasing if I ever buy one.
I've been looking for a short scale bass to get that Bill Wyman tone. I want one of these! I'm gonna wait until I can custom order one though. For that price point that these are selling I'd rather get one configured the way I want it.
Pretty sure you can order one through the Custom shop now. However, I'm not sure the Fallout will make it to the Option Order line, I think they might stay pre-set colors/options like the Fullerton Deluxe/Standard lines. I'll try and get more info on that...
For those keen on green but not on the stripes, there is a Reverend Wattplower in a lovely emerald green available shortly. Pricing is $1,399.

Yeah that’s the retail for em. I called around to some dealers and got one for $1400 by paying up front with pre order. Got one comin in racing green. Very excited.
And yeah, I think this is the sexiest bass g&l has made thus far. Instant classic if you ask me
I am on the market for a short scale bass and would love to have one of these to match my SB-2, if it weren't for the colors and stripes available. I can just hope they will be available in the future with other color options.
As much as I’m enjoying my Fender Mustang, I might be converting to a Short Scale guy. I hadn’t planned on selling any of my basses, though I’m now thinking that I’d consider moving part of my “collection” for one I might play more often. If a lower level line of these gets released, I might be inclined to change up my stable.
Ok, for all of you who are loving the Fallout short scale bass, stop the video at 0.08. Don't know if this is production or custom shop, but it seems there is life after the launch edition.
Well, I did it... placed an order for a yellow one. In fact it looks like I'm going to do an (almost) straight-up trade for a Rick 4003. Now, before you say anything, I like the sound of Ricks (Yes, Motorhead, Rush, etc.) but it simply does not feel right in my hands. I've owned and played a few. As I've gotten older, the sound of a simple bass, short scale, with flats is the sound and feel I want right now.* The Fallout looks pretty cool. And I played a blue one yesterday and, as expected, it's solidly-built. A simple little guy, but it will be perfect for what I play right now, which is 60's garage/power pop. And, yeah, for that price it should have a case, but I'd probably just put it in a bag anyway because I'm always on the train and big clunky cases are annoying to truck around. I'll post some pics and other info when it arrives! I asked for factory flats (anybody know what brand/type come stock on these?)
* My go-to basses have been, since 1990, in chronological order: Upright Kay, Yamaha Fretless, '66 J-Bass, Alembic Mark King (!), '75 P-Bass, '66 EB-3, Guild Starfire (recent reissue). So the G&L shouldn't be much of a surprise, considering the story line. Cheers!
