“Jim, I’m Kinda pissed off that every one has one of your black magic joints now. The dog-nabbit secret done come out, man. Bought mines from Corey and Justin at Rock City (Somerville, MA) when nobody knew the score… Now everybody and they’s momma sounding wicked again- LOLOLOLOL… …waiting for the dudes endorsing SWR and EDEN and EPIFANI and EBS and HARTKE and EA (which I now use as a coffee table/practice cab) to join the band wagon. Got me feeling like a jedi warrior, man. This thing cuts through like a light saber. Dayum dayum dayyum dayum! Dis be Funkfucious heah, son! Youse a bad mother-”

“Yes, I’m the proud owner of an NV610. I’m 37 and I’ve been playing bass for 22 years. I’m the bass player for “Psycho Jive”, a rock-n-roll band in Atlanta. Let me tell you. This cabinet rocks the house!!! The tone of this cab is awesome!!! The punch of this cab is awesome!!! The presence of this cab is awesome!!! Its’ mix of modern punch and old-school tone make this the ultimate rock-n-roll bass enclosure. Since I got the NV610 two months ago, my band has commented on the excellent tone and presence of my bass playing. I am a different player now because of it. This cab never sounds bad, and after dousing it with beer yesterday, oops, I think it even sounds a little better now. I’ve dubbed it my Beergantino610. I play an ’83 Fender Precision through a MesaBoogie MPulse-600 into the NV610. The NV610 maintains blossoming tone throughout the entire volume spectrum. My bass sound sits perfectly in the mix and every nuance and fist-pound is accurately and sweetly reflected at all dynamic levels. Wow!! I’ve never been happier with my bass setup, than I am now. It feels really strange having the perfect setup. Equipment shouldn’t make that much of a difference, but it does. Oh, it does! The only other thing I want is another NV610. (I got my Beergie cab and my Boogie head from George & Bill, at Atlanta Discount Music. I put them through hell in my recent gear-acquisition-syndrome and they were always patient while helping me find what I was searching for. They are certainly the preferred music dealer in Atlanta. Thanks George & Bill.) And finally, thanks Jim B., for making me this awesome 610 cabinet, and I hope you don’t mind the barley/hops upgrade. ” – Len Knitter –

“Thanks Jim for speaking with me on numerous occasions to help me fine tune my rig. The HT115/210 stack sounds wonderful. For those of you seeking a bass cab of the highest quality in sound, construction AND customer service, Bergantino is simply the best!”

“Just purchased a 322 through Adrian Garcia at Access Bass (highly recommended dealer) and I find this cab to be the best single bass cab I’ve run across to date. Really tremendous clarity and full-range tone. Count me under the many satisfied owners! Thanks.” Carl “Boogie” Edwards

“Hi Jim, Just wanted to thank you for the phone call to help me with my choice of cabs (EX 112) and your expert advice on EQ settings. (flat is beautiful) Ran the Eden WT 400 with flat EQ and turned the enhance off. Ran the EQ on my bass flat. The only adjustments I made was pick up selection. I am use to getting comments on how great my US Masters bass sounds. Now folks are really taking notice. I played this cab for the first time at church last week and after the service had several people comment on how awesome the bass sounded that night. The sound man who in the past has told me that the bass was too loud coming off the stage told me that he was glad I had it cranked up because it sounded so good! The drummer told me it was the best he’d ever heard. Even had a guitar player who was at the service come up to me to tell me how great my bass sounded. Our worship pastor was a full time professional recording engineer before he started at the church and he was loving it. (!He leads from the keyboard)Don’t remember his exact words but it was something like. “That’s what bass is suppose to sound like!!” Guys like him are very fussy. He once told me that the only thing he likes cheese on was his burgers!! I had been playing through a 4×10 cab. Your cab blows it out of the water. I play a 5 string and was truly amazed at how sweet the low B string sounds through it. The EX 112 is way more than I ever expected and worth every dime that I paid for it. We are going to do some recording in a few weeks and I am looking forward to micing this cab as well as using a DI. I hope to get another cab in the near future. Either the HT112 or may even get another EX112. It’s scary to think what a pair of these would do. Ok guys you’ve played the rest; now it’s time to play the best!! Ebay needs your old cabs! Before I forget, Bass Northwest is awesome!! Thanks Steve and Evan for your great service, quick email response and fast shipping! The Bible says to make a joyful noise to the Lord!! Thanks again Jim. May the Lord continue to prosper your business. Hope to be talking to you soon.” Mike

“I bought my first Bergantino cabinet in October 2002. I now own the following: HT210, HT115, HT310, and NV610. I play a variety of basses ranging from passive Fenders to active high-end “boutiques” and they all sound great through Bergantino cabinets. That especially includes the low B strings. The HT210 keeps up just fine at loud rehearsals with a drummer. I used an HT310/HT115 stack at a completely outdoor gig with no PA support, and got all the volume I needed, including amazing low end throb. For most gigs I use the HT310 alone, or an HT210/HT115 stack. I use the NV610 when I want that SVT magic. Everyone who owns an HT322 says it’s your best cabinet yet, and I suspect I’ll add one of those to my collection soon. Last but not least: as most of us here know, Jim Bergantino understands the value of customer service and delivers the best. Thanks, Jim!” Ken Fiester
