I'll send you a PM. May be boarderline rule breaking.

Nice to see those Epifani rigs and cool that Nick came to your meeting. It could be great if anyone could tell a bit about different between the PS and the UL rig.

-Christian
The ps are made out of birch I believe, whereas the ULs are made out of italian poplar. The PS's are a bit heavier because of this. They are also tuned a bit lower, more like the older NYC series. They have such a phat bottom, with a little less of that high end zing found in the ULs, but its still there. The drivers are also a bit different. The PS series really is amazing though, especially the 12" stack. It puts out great bottom for two small cabs.

Glad you liked the photos, Rob.

It's hard work, but somebody has to do it!

It was very nice meeting you too, Rob, and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Hey, that's what these GTGs are for.

Hope to see you again.

Mike

Ohhh sorry 'bout that Kevin...we were trying to be discrete as to not interrupt the Epifani discussion. I wanted to stay and listen to that as well, but we really had to split.

Let's get some brews in bklyn soon!!
