Buying Epifani Cabs? UK or Europe?

[Zonnick]

Hi

I'm working up to sorting myself out with a small epifani cab (either a UL110 or 2x10).

Any Epifani-heads have any suggestions where the best place is to buy this brand with the least mark-up? I will consider ordering from Europe.

Incidentally I might pair it with a Little Mark head, although the best prices on that seem to be in the UK.

Cheers

Nick

There was this seller on eBay, but once I took into account p&p and custom charges, it wouldn't have been that much cheaper than buying it from the Bass Gallery. I got mine from them, and they seem to be a little flexible on the prices on their website www.thebassgallery.com. I believe they have exclusive dealership in UK. TBH, I couldn't find many dealers for Epifani. Not even the might Thomann have dealership. It seems to be heavily niched.

I too am running a MarkBass LMII into UL110. Fantastic for the size and weight!

Enrico at Wood&tronics might be able to do a good deal,

Otherwise go with martin at the Gallery.

I got UL212 from Wood&tronics back in May this year (the is a thread all about that). To be honest it would have worked out cheaper and quicker getting it from the USA but i guess if you want to order from Europe then they are only one or two places you can get them from, The Gallery being the only other one i can think of. My suggestion is that if you do use W&T get a written quote first, including postage. They stung me for an extra £70 after i had wired the money to them. They had just made a mistake on the cost of postage, not trying to con me or anything but it did put the price up to almost what the Gallery would have cost and around £130 (at the time) more than getting it from the USA. I could have cancelled but by that time i was running out of time to go elsewhere so was in a bind.
Im not putting W&T down but it was not a good experience dealing with them. Very badly organised IMO and i hope they are a bit better now. Enrico is a nice person though and he did all he could to sort things out.
Ive actually got a UL cab from both. for me The Gallery was much easier but then i live in central London so can go and see them. Alex is a good bloke to deal with.
The problem with ordering from here or Europe is they dont always have a lot of stock in although they can order it of course but if you deal direct with the States you have a greater choice of dealers. For example the grooveshoppe do the UL110 for $449. Even with vat and customs etc it still works out quite cheap.

I love the sound of my MB heads through either my UL115 or UL212. Very full and loud, even with the EQ running flat and just messing with the two filters.
