“Hi Jim, Just picked up your AE410 over the weekend and I have not stop smiling yet! Weight to Tone factor has been a huge issue for me. My back told me to stop lugging your HT322 to my gigs and boy did my tone take a big hit. I landed as most of us do on the Epifani thing which has been a love – hate relationship, but my back thanked me even though my ears where left wanting that magical Bergy sound. As soon as I heard your were offering the new AE line I was in route to my local dealer. We took my current Epifani UL310 and ran it up aginst your ae410 while my back was turned away from the cabinets I began to play. We started with my current rig. Once the cable was moved from the UL310 to your AE410 I said STOP!!!! I dropped my Epifani UL310 Series II in a heart beat once I got a taste of what your cabinet did for my continual search for the “Sound of Life”. for just a few pounds more I not only got a 4×10 cab which gave me more volume and size to the notes, I got that magical Bergy tone back. Now my tone is warm, fat, punches like nobodies business, articulate, huge bottom end, sizzles at the top…I can go on and on. I am so excited with your new line and very happy to be a customer again. Cudos to “Bass Specialities” and a special thanks to the owner Glen – his knowledge and eagerness to help his customers find the quest for tone whether it be a fantastic Bass guitar or a dynamite bass rig is something you should experience. Bass Specialties only carries the “best of the best” and Glen also is one heck of a nice guy! “Nothing moves you like Bass” ” Vance Ellis – Malvern, PA

“Excellent, EXCELLENT product! My HT112 makes my bass sit/cut perfectly for my neo-folk/jazz performances. I’ve gotten countless raves from other players as well. THANK YOU JIM! ”

“I have used an ampeg svt for twenty two years,always the mighty 810 cabinet. I swore there were nothing better until I met the BERGANTINO HT 310 ,this cabinet is by far the best I have ever used. It is so good I loaded the svt in my jeep and brought home the very best bass cabinet ever. BERGANTINO, thank you for bringing me and my music back to life. ” Sincerly, Greg Godsey……. East Tennessee

“I have just purchased an IP112. I am playing double bass exclusively and the combination of a Realist pickup + Fishman pro EQ platinum bass preamp + the IP 112 is truly unsurpassed. So all that has been written about the IP112 certainly works for my double bass as well! ” Kind regards, Frits Jochems(in Belgium)

“Hi Jim, I should start by saying that I, like many other bass players, am a tone junkie. I have played Ampeg head/cabs for years now, my sound and tone was always good but it just wasnt the sound I had in my head. I finally got the basses/head down to Fender usa jazz and a early 1970’s Ampeg SVT. I was playing through Ampegs svt610 and the sound was great..but it just wasnt “it”. A friend recommended I give the NV610 a shot and promised I would turn cartwheels when I heard the difference. So I toted my Fender 75 Jazz RI and my 71 SVT down to Rockin Robin Guitars here in Houston. They were busy as they always are(its a great shop w/a TON of vintage gear..check them out)and I ask if I could play the Berg610 through my head. They said “sure, no problem”. I hooked my amp up and was prepaired to, well honestly, be disappointed. I have heard so many people say “oh..you need this cab..or this cab” and I was prepared for the worst. I let the tubes heat for a minute and slowly turned up the volume to about 3 o’clock. The tone and shape were nothing less than amazing. I made a few adjustments to the head’s mid’s and bass and played for about 2 min just amazed. I thought “well it sounds good at 3 o’clock lets give her some gas and see what she has” I turned up to 12 o’clock and the distortion that came out was god like! I knew instantly I had found the tone! I am a very hard slap/pop guy and I always…always make speakers(10’s) “pop” when I slap. Well not this cab. I even hit the strings as hard as I could directly over the neck P/U and it was just tone…nothing but tone. I packed up my stuff, whipped out the card and the NV610 was mine. The final test came at rehearsal last night when I plugged in my 2nd fender jazz that is tuned to C# G# C# F#, The open 4 string always sounded “flabby” and “loose” with every cabnet I had played through. I hit that low C# and the BergNV610 just thundered out the note with PERFECT tone and clairty! This cabinet took everything I threw at it and never had any tone less than god like. Thank you Jim ! From a new life long Berg owner! ” John
