Epifani PS210 price

Can anyone tell me if they think $350 is a good price for an Epifani PS210?
Found someone selling one. I was looking into UL112's just because they are light and have heard they sound great.
I've never played Epifani before, but from what I've been reading I'm thinking the PS210 may be more suited to my style. (Americana/Alt Country/Rock)
I play P and J basses, both with flats.
Like that warm tubey Jamerson kind of tone too- who doesn't
Does this sound like a good deal?

I also like the fact that it will fit exactly perfect on top of my Eden D115-T. Although the Eden is 8 ohm and this is 4, I think I'd get a pretty killer tone with a GK-800 and VT-Bass.

Any opinions would be great.

Be warned, the gk is 4 ohm minimum. You will not be able to run both cabs safely as together they are 2.66 ohms.

I can't speak to the price. I bought my PS210 new from BassNW shortly after the PS series was released, and I think there was little to no discount.

But I will say the PS210 is great at the tones you're looking for. It accomplishes them more naturally than my UL310 and has lots of body to its sound.

Oh, really?
I thought the GK could handle 2 4ohm cabs?
It has 2- 300 watt out at 4ohm, and 2- 100 watt out at 8ohm.
Now I'm a little confused.
I've never used both 4ohm outs at the same time but have used each separately.

I think I see... The GK800 outputs that say 4ohm are actually 8ohm each when running 2 cabs?
What about if I biamp them, and run the 210 on the 4ohm side and the 15 on the 8ohm side?

That's a bad idea, be use the biamp in the 800rb is set with a crossover, so the high frequencies would be going to the 15.

the rb 800 has two poweramps, one with 300 watts minimum load 4 ohms and one with 100 watts at minimum load 8 ohms

But isn't the 100W amp set to the crossover though?

Thanks for the input.
Yeah, I realized that using both the 4 and 8 ohm outs only works with the crossover which will not work with a 15 like that.

Think I'm gonna move on to a 112 or 210 of some sort that runs 8 ohm.

350 for that Epifani cab seems like a good deal though. It's in Boston if anyone is interested.
