Trade feeler - Bergantino AE210 for HT112ER / stack

[kerryg]

Hi folks. Just a feeler, but I'm kicking around the idea of trading my AE210 for a HT112ER stack. Message me if you've got a HT112ER, HT112ER + HT112ER, HT112ER + EX112ER you'd like to trade, we can discuss cash adjustments as appropriate.

[PS - I'm just looking at ER's, folks, I'm a five- and six-stringer.]

Any interest in trading for cash?

[kerryg]

I'm pretty sure it'd sell fast, these are awesome cabs. But since that would leave me with no cabinet I'd like to give the trade idea a try first.

Just the "ER"? The regular HT's seem to work ok with a 5/6 string bass.

Interesting. I actually have a possible line on a non-ER HT stack locally, maybe I should give 'em a try. Mind you, that'd stll mean that *in this thread* I'm looking for ERs only

You should give em a try. IME/IMO the HT non ER is a great cab for doubling and electric. It has great mids and not as big sounding as the ER's. If you're mostly EB player the ER is definitely a go go but either way you cannot go wrong with a bergie..

I like the ER better but the non-ER line is a good choice too. It just depends on your taste.

Funny, Ive owned the non-ER stack twice and it cannot handle the low B IME.

[kerryg]

I can't imagine the low B is terrible on the non-ERs; it is, after all, a Bergantino. But I'm swapping out a cabinet that's already ridiculously good: the sole motivation is to get exactly what I'm looking for rather than "very close".

In my opinion (which means little) the HT112 on its own isn't near enough low end to support a band. I really like for upright bass where I want a tight articulate low end, but for electric bass, the non ER box just hasn't got the lows. The box will however take a lot of power. It also takes eq really well. So if you have lots of power and eq, you can get a little more low end out of it. Still, not enough for me.

The box takes the B string just fine, just lacks lows. JMHO

Pretty much supports what I've heard in multiple venues. Thanks much!

How 'bout the AE112? Anyone know where that stands in the Grand Scheme Of Things?

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I have an older non-ER 112 stack (HT/EX) and an AE112. I find that the HT112 on its own lacks some low end, but two together still sound pretty good. The AE112 sounds good on its own (as I am sure it sounds good doubled up too) as well as being about 10 lbs lighter, although slightly larger.

I bought the older HT/EX before the AE line came out as I would have likely bought two AE112's instead. But, for the price and the amount of difference it would make, I don't think it would be worth switching them. When I need two, I go with the HT/EX, when I need one, out comes the AE.

OK - found an HT/EX stack, so trade time's over - will shortly be listing as "FS" after a short pause to hear from the folks who asked if they could buy it.
