Gaucho 5

Yes, back in the day I bought all manner of gear from Allan Gordons (Markhouse Road Walthamstow) and Holiday Music in Leytonstone. Rehearsals with various covers bands at Allan Gordons under the railway arches in Leytonstone....good old days! Gaucho

Thanks folks, all very much appreciated! Itsmedunc, you've hit the nail on the head buddy, I've hung on to it all these years purely due to the nostalgia! Yes it is loud, much louder than the watts quoted! Gaucho

Now Sold! Rock bottom at £50 and buyer collects: 1984 Vintage HH Bass Baby 150 mosfet 1 x 12 Combo Owned this since '86, bought from Holiday Music with new driver fitted have original receipt! Used for a short while then went into storage for 34 years i kid you not! Gave it a clean and it she sounds great! Obviously could benefit from a service, however a quick pot clean and it'll be fine. 2 channels, built in compressor and 5 band EQ. Corners and tolex showing plenty of l room and storage shuffle mojo, but she's solid! £50 buys a bit of a rarity, even has original cover and oh yes she is typical of the vintage..... heavy, so collection only! Gaucho

Hi Dylan, 9lbs in old money Regards Gaucho

Thanks Oldman😉

Hi guys, Apologies didn't get an email regarding these offers? glassmoon: I'll PM you.....think I know the Lakland you have? Punkpappa: Trades are for 5'vers I'm afraid. Regards Gaucho

Will give it a play as it's been in its case for a while now and unlikely to be in tune, that and randomly wiggle those peg things at the end of the neck, then see what happens...…..stand by??????

Thanks for the offer, but not for me unfortunately. Regards Gaucho

You are correct..... same as 4 is 3 and so on! Works for me

Having a bit of a mare with weights & measures! From inside the top nut to the front of the bridge saddles I make it 34.25 as with a Jabba for example, take it to the string appearing up to the lower section of the saddle (just above the speaking length) it is 35? So I would say 34.25? Gaucho

Hi Oldham, It's 34in buddy, Also I think its a tad lighter than I said.....duff scales??? Gaucho

Back up so soon! I had a custom version of one of these and surprisingly as a fellow Lakland lover it was the one Bass above all I regretted parting with..... Next best neck to a Lakland IMO! Any Trades? Gaucho

No just a few too many Basses gathering dust.....

As time has moved on and you've shifted one of your collection, are any trades an option?

With the original bridge which it has it's 18mm spacing, can't remember the weight of mine but it was not a heavy Bass by any means! Bass Wielder will no doubt explain his selector switch function?

Proper bargain at this price!!!!

Cherry burst it is unfortunately..... which I actually like, however it appears mine is an acquired taste

Hey Buddy, Looks like I may need a T or Vm5 again, is a TT5 of interest? Regards Gaucho

…….and a happy ending...all good

Hi Ander 87, Sei is up my street but not a single -cut, PM me with the offer? Regards Gaucho

Probably not, string spacing is a bit tight for me TBH, but PM me over an image and I'll give it further thought if that's ok? Regards Gaucho

Yes, but I had mine back in the day when there were very few lightweights around..... and I was a much younger, fitter and devilishly handsome Gaucho back then …...

Definitely percussive with "slap plates" ! Ash did I not sell you mine many years ago??? Gaucho

I had the same in Black with an ebony board + quarter markers! Was my main Bass most of the mid-late'80's...…. served me very well! GLWTS Gaucho

TBH I was gobsmacked as my shoulder made it the second lightest bass I've owned in years, only a Jabba Custom I had felt lighter! Must be the balance of the instrument? Gaucho
