“I’ve played through a lot of different gear over the years. The first time I heard an HT-322 it hit me right near the heart so I had to have one. Needless to say, it was a huge upgrade to the cabs I’ve played in the past. Then I was sitting in Bass emporium farting around one day and happened across the NV412.. jolly cow what a beast! I didn’t even know I needed or wanted anything other than the 322.. take all my money!! So 2 weeks later I had probably the coolest bass cab ever. Years later I was toying with neos , because, you know.. back problems seem to be Synonymous with bass players from the all ceramic days.. haha! After a markbass combo stint I went full HDN with you guessed it, the old 322 combo, the HDN112 and HDN210. The rest of history, for now..”

“I have always been a die-hard Ampeg fan and user up until I found The Bergantino forté bass amp. It is the most clear sounding amp I have ever purchased. The main three basses I use are my Pedulla Bass Guitars Rapture Bass (single Active Bartolini pickup), American Precision Bass (Passive Geezer Butler EMGs) and my all time favorite my 90’s Warwick basses Fortress Bass (Active EMG PJ Pickups). Every bass has it’s own sound. With the Bergantino forté I can dial in a great tone fast and easily for any of my basses. Seems my old amps had just one sound but not the Forte. It let’s every bass sing with it’s own voice. Using different cabs proves just as easy to dial in a fantastic tone. I love my new Bergantino Amp forté . Looking forward to checking out the rest of The Bergantino products.”

“I’ve used the Bergantino Forte over the last two weekends and just love this amp. Dialing in the amp to get the tone you want is extremely easy. The bass is tight and the mid-range and treble are as clear as you want it to be. The headroom on this amp is also incredible and the Variable Rate Compression (VRC) is magical and simple to dial in to provide a level string response. I have received many positive comments from band-mates and the audience on just how great the amp sounds. Jim Bergantino has hit the ball out of the park with this amp!”

“My main gigging rigs consist of an AE210 for smaller gigs, and an AE410 for when I need to bring the noise! Lightweight but solid and reliable, punchy, articulate, fat – these cabs are the real deal, no matter what you throw at them! I toured the French Alps in the winter with my AE410 – 130 gigs in 5 months, from big open festival stages to cramped, sweaty bars. The cab never let me down. To me that says it all!”

“LOVE your cabinets, (but my wife doesn’t). At one point my garage was beginning to look like a Bergantino museum. 1 AE410, 1 CN112, 2 HD112’s, a CN212 and the HG310. Have been downsizing the arsenal as of late but at one point I’m pretty confident she was considering sending me to therapy 😀 Thanks for doing what you do, you’re making a lot bassists happy, which is not an easy feat lol!!”

“The B Amp has been an incredible blessing for me; enough power to handle most rooms in Austin proper, an incredibly clean D.I. and useful EQ section for when I run out to a venue’s front-of-house, takes pedals quite well, small and portable enough to easily take with for fly dates. The HDN212 has been a powerhouse cab with the perfect balance of low end thump and high end clarity for me, and I LOVE how easy it is to carry.  Thanks for such great products, Jim!!”
