Gaucho 5

Hey Paddy, How's the B string on this? I believe the 2025 models (which includes the Fired Red and Indigo Blue) had a bit of a tweak here and there so may have improved the B??? Slightly subjective subject as there was quite a marked difference of opinion regarding the B! I've not seen any reviews of the newer model as yet so I'm sure chatters would appreciate your view buddy! Regards Gaucho

While I'm still in the poor house up pops one off my bucket list Paddy! How did you find that and in that colour!!! May have to consider busking to raise the cash....lol!

Sod the shipping and tax I'll go £2... lol 😂

Hey Paddy, Very good question! The early Mk1 Barts are a bit different IMO: top end has more bite, a little zingy bur not shrill, mid is a touch clearer more defined, low end identical. However albeit I've had a few later non USA Mk1's they've been paired with East, Glock, Lakland and Bart pre amps. The Prose in it's current form has the Aguilar OB2 pre which is known for its pronounced highs, so maybe I'm not making a fair comparison? One observation I can make is I had a 6'er with USA Mk 1's and a Glock pre which was very similar in tone range. Gaucho

Thanks Paul, good to hear from you! Unfortunately shipping on man's best friend's meds etc has just taken a hike so I'll make a very last minor reduction😔 However that will be the last as the Bass is worth way more than what I'm asking. Gaucho

Hmmm, not sure, however virtually all the history of this Bass has been added to my post buddy! Can't believe I've still got it TBH! I missed this once before it became mine as there were a few people after it, and the same again when I bought her. Still while I'm covering the Vet bills and medication I'm glad she's still mine, however if somebody stumps up what I'm asking....we may part ways ☹️ Gaucho

Miles better than the price suggests, proper all-rounder! You can cover virtually everything with one of these! 😉

Hi Lee, Absolutely perfect for street gigs! Sorry about the price buddy, but it is literally brand new and Roland no longer make these! N/B the replacement model is not as good I'm reliably told. Regards Gaucho

A very well balanced 10lbs in old money, so no flyweight but doesn't feel heavy in any way!
