“Well, I’m not sure what I can add that hasn’t been said over and over. I’ve been trying to get a rig that would do full justice to my Alembic Rouge 5 string for about 3 & 1/2 years. My approach has been pretty much “buy 1 or 2 of everything and see what sounds best”. I don]t even believe the collection of bass amps and cabs that are all over my band\’s studio and my home studio (and 2 or 3 closets). When I discovered Aguilar’s 112 cabinet a few months back, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. All that sound and not much weight. Then I bought a Bergy HT-112 last week from Guitar-X here in Denver and ran the two together with a Thunderfunk 550 for a weekend gig and I joined the ranks of the Bergantino cult. Although the Aggie 112 is still an excellent speaker, it couldn’t match the Bergantino 112 in any respect, especially the amazing clarity. All I want to know is, where were these speakers back in the ’70s and ’80s when I hauled a dual SVT rig around for 12 years and played 2 to 5 nights a week? Now it’s off to eBay to sell most of the stuff I’ve collected and buy more Bergantino cabinets. I’ve been playing since the ’60s and my equipment search is over. For those wanting to know what to drive their Bergie’s with (and can’t afford a Walter Woods) try the Thunderfunk 550. It’s amazing as well. ” “Zeke” Adams – Denver, Colorado

“Hey Jim, I’m a loving fan of your cabs: the HT-EX 112 stack with my Crest power amp and Sansamp preamp rocks(My little set-up kills everyone elses in this area!) Have you ever considered making an IP stereo head? (I,ve heard your IP speakers and they kick ass, but I still love separates. P.S. Juan Ortiz at Basses-Electric-Acoustic is the best music dealer on the face of the earth. ” Thanks, Geoff M. South Lake Tahoe, CA

“Hi Jim, Just wanted to let you know that after checking out the IP112+EX112 stack, I was totally sold on it! Whatever you put in that IP112 works like a charm, the combination of the sound (exactly the sound I hear in my head) and the portability of the stack, is nothing short of amazing. Dave Beasley of the Groove Shoppe and myself were laughing at how ridiculously loud the stack was with no distortion whatsoever. Thanks for making it possible to have a bass rig that does not kill my back, and sounds like it’s the size of a refrigerator….pure genius! I was wondering if you have any recommendations as far as a suitable preamp? Right now, I’m using my very compact Raven Labs preamp, and it sounds great, but is lacking a low impedance output for the house mix. Jim, you make a really fine product, I look forward to shocking a few people with this rig! ” Thanks, Chuck
