THX MG, the first hasty tab on search produced the unusual Chestnut colored one sold at $113. Which is crazy inexpensive IMO and a tremendous value in regards to what it does and it’s Well cared for lovely appearance.
The second picture depicts the one currently available at $280
Which I think is a little on the price gouging side which, given the kind of language I used in my last post, I both understand and am annoyed by. I don’t know if the seller, who’s brief description, by placement in a new paragraph, features the statement “Hard to come by and absolutely gorgeous.” thinks the observable wear makes it “shabby Chic” or something but it rings a bad bell with me personally. And while I really like Reverb, it’s been a great resource to me and would certainly purchase anything I felt strongly about with price just part of the equation; given the choice I’d rather get one here if possible, because I can talk to the person as a bassist, they’ll understand where I’m coming from and I them about price or whatever.
That said I do wish to own another Subterranea. The one I purchased used is, on some voice settings making a crackling sound with anything but a very low volume signal. I don’t know if I put 18v to it by accident or something else but after describing it to Taylor and getting his feedback I’m going to chill for a bit and try again. And yeah if I do become certain it ain’t me,
Taylor DID NOT suggest this, he just told me a $30 bench fee to look into it, which is beyond reasonable.
but I’d pay $280 to have it refurbished. Trust me, I’ve been a fool for lesser things!
So thx again Movinngroovin, I’ll keep trying to help where I can and appreciate the continuing community attitude here.
