“Absolutely the best cabinet (HD212) I have ever had the pleasure of owning! Amazing punch and low end response to my low B on my 5 string……. ” Posted on Oct. 20, 2012 “ Greetings, I just got home with my first Bergantino cab–an HD112 (ser.#112A 0311) that I purchased from Bass Northwest. I’ve known Evan Sheely since I began trading at BassNW not long after they opened up for business. Evan, Chad Beeler, and everyone who works there all told me how good your cabinets were, but I wanted to do enough test driving prior to purchase to make sure I got the tone I wanted. I tried several other well known cabinets in single 12 and multiple 10 configurations, but this HD112 shot them all down. It is absolutely the best sounding cabinet I’ve played. Clear, accurate, with excellent transient response and superb fundamentals–it just blew everything else I tried out of the water. Thanks very much for being committed to high quality and high standards and creating a cabinet that is literally ‘other-worldly’. ” Best regards, Chris Wenkle – Auburn, WA

“I live in Boulder Colorado and play professionally in many different musical groups. Everything from classic rock, to jazz, to corporate party bands, to 13 piece horn bands playing Tower of Power and Steely Dan, then throw in some Cajun Zydeco and of course some Colorado country rock! A wonderful thing happened for the bass community along the front range last year when Dan Basica opened Premier Bass Guitars in Superior. It’s a fabulous store and Dan and his staff are just awesome. I went in to the store last week with 3 Ampeg SVT Classic cabinets (2 1×15’s and 1 4x10HLF) and walked out with a Berg HD410. I brought my Ampeg SVT Classic head into the store and played through the GK Neo series (disliked the supposedly modern sound). I next tried the Aguilar 2×12 …and 4×10 …very nice …but disliked the rear ports on the 4×10 (too messy sounding) the 2×12 was very nice sounding too but I wanted a 4×10. I pushed some sound through the Mesa 4×10 – it’s only real redeeming value being that it could rip your face off in the front row at a show – all loudness, no definition. I tried some used gear too …for my ears and my varied gig challenges …the HD410 fits the bill. It is an absolutely well made, beautiful sounding box that sings when coupled with the Classic SVT head and I also tried it with my GK400rb head – solid state can’t compare to tubes but I think my jazz group will be very happy with the sound! Thanks to Dan for carrying your amazing gear… and thanks to you guys …for making an almost perfect 4×10 cabinet for a working musician like me! ” Bill Capsalis

“Jim & Crew, last Friday I purchased your HD212 cabinet from Willie’s in St. Paul. I have owned your single 12 cabs for several years and they have served me well. At outdoor shows and larger venues I usually use my Ampeg SVT & 8-10 cabinet. Yesterday I had an outdoor show and decided to see what the HD-212 would do. Well, my Ampeg rig may have found a new home (in the trailer). The HD212 did everything I wanted it to and more. Huge bottom end, very punchy and accurate. I was using my Sadowsky NYC 5 string along with a G&K Fusion 500 amp. After playing bass for nearly a half century through as you can imagine many different amps and cabinets, I have never been more impressed with a bass cabinet and happy with a purchase. It is shocking to hear what this cabinet can do. Thanks for making such great stuff!” Randy Sinz – Eau Claire, WI

“I finally took delivery of my HD 210 cabinet from Bass Emporium in Austin and was it ever worth the wait! I have played my fare share of cabs in my 33 years of playing bass but I have never played anything like this cab. It has all the lows I can use, yes…out of a 2X10…but balanced with the right amount of mids and highs and a presence that shapes each note perfectly. Absolutely magnificent cab! Thank you so much. ” Michael Bedard, Corsicana, Tx

“Dear people of Bergantino, I purchased a Bergantino IP-310 earlier this week, and I am totally floored. It is the best bass rig I have ever heard. My bandmates are in total shock. Its transparency, punch and clarity are beyond words. The lows are so tight, and the highs are so defined without ever being bright or harsh. You all have truly taken bass amplification to a new level. Congratulations on setting the bar out of reach for everyone else. ”
