Steve A Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) I'm reluctantly having to sell my Epifani 502 amplifier because of tax bill issues. Yes, I need to pay that bill! Anyway, I bought the amp used from the Bass Gallery in London in February this year. It's only a couple of years old and I had the unit thoroughly serviced by Brian Bond, who does all the Gallery's amplifier servicing. Twin channel with selectable mid frequencies on channel 2. 600w, very powerful, tight, focussed sound. To be honest I've only used this amplifier a handful of times as I've been working on a tour this year with another bass player and sharing her rig. When i have used it I have been very happy with the sound and quality of the EQ. The amp comes with rack ears and comes in a nice Aguilar rack gig-bag. £750 Steve Edited October 8, 2007 by funkmunky
lozbass Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Hi Steve, First, I'm sorry to hear about the tax problem - I have family in the tax industry and they advise an experienced accountant (maybe you have one already) - if you're not earning too much, the fees should be modest and you should certainly save on tax. To the point - I know the Gallery had a 'mint' 502 in earlier in the year and maybe this is the one you're advertising. Are there any marks or scratches on the front or rear control plates or anywhere else on the case (or is this unit blemish free)? Also, is the bag in good condition (I use the Aguilar bags and find them to be well-designed and pretty strong, however, they do seem to mark pretty easily)? Cheers, Loz Edited August 25, 2007 by lozbass
Steve A Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Hi Loz, Thanks for the advice. I'm going to get an accountant to advise me and get things in order! Yes this is probably the 502 the Gallery had in stock. The amp is blemish free, as far as I know (it's been in the case since I bought it) and the gig bag is in perfect condition. The amp is light in weight and sounds great! Regards, Steve Edited August 25, 2007 by funkmunky

Dood Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I do feel rather drawn to this amp, considering I have the UL610 cab to match it with. What configuration is the effects loop? series / parallel? Could I be thinking about selling my powersoft???
kjb Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Dood - it's switchable between the two seies and parallel. I can really recommend these, they sound fantastic......well you've only to look at the players who use them, players who can probably use any amp that they wanted. I'm using an Epi 3x10, I should imagine that your 6x10 would sound pretty damn good. Edited September 11, 2007 by kjb

It sounds amazing through my Epifani UL410. Let me know when you've made a decision and have cash to give me
steve-soar Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Funky where abouts in the West Midlands do you live? Is it still for sale?
Steve A Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 Hi, sorry once again I think I'm able to get by without selling the amp. Sorry I should have amended the title of this post.
