conventional ceramic speakers, but the all aluminum cab makes them lighter than a neo of similar ilk...YAY!

And they're gorgeous...

Epifani - AL 112 Combo

...tons of power, too, always a good thing. Anybody heard one yet?

Cheers,

A piccolo amp in an aesthetically pleasing, to my eye, cabinet made from Aluminum and paying special attention to the baffle, speaker mounting board?

Yes indeed this appears that it just might be my final purchase in personal, portable, amplification at this stage of the game.

On that note, personal aesthetics dictate that I prefer the white/red cabinet to the graphite/red Aluminum combo previously posted.

looking, like to see some specs on that combo. Hmmm? Not on the same scale here but I've always wanted to try a real Epifani amp head with one or both of my UL410-II cabs. Though my Markbass heads mix quite well with them cabs.

OH and, how ya doin MRBEAR? :bassist:

The cola red, '08 P5 I snagged from you awhile back is still starting the lineup in my bevy of basses. Just letting you know, I'm still diggin it/giggin it. Peace, ernie.
 
We heard them at Winter NAMM. They do sound pretty good, but unfortunately, unlike the mockup photos, the finished aluminum case does not have any kind of a handle. :confused: They are looking into making some kind of a strap or something that can be attached to carry it, but my suggestion was that they figure out a way to give it a real handle.
 
Hmmm... sounds like pieces, parts that could come loose or get lost easily, although strap locks are on my bass. Too bad, that mock-up photo handle looked like it was well done.

Greetings Ernie, every so often I read about you and your Candy Cola P5 and smile.
Hangin' in there though I seem to have more bad days than good from long term radiation side effects.
 
A nicely secured, thin, pure black rubber handle that is low profile and sits on top is the handle. Very little distraction to the clean lines which is very important to us, just like the sound. Like the rest of the AL, it will be properly sealed. Note that we are using aviation grade construction in the AL and its chassis is made in the same shop that Tesla automotive uses for their aluminum work, in Northern California.

Oh no...I didn't think these handles looked quite right.

Photos now up on the website (without handles so far.) More to come.

Are you still putting the logo on the combos? I think that looked fantastic as well. Great looking thing. So it is a Piccolo head in there, or something else?

Cheers,
Cameron
