Hey Chicago_mike … Are you or anyone you know actually working on the T’Funk relics? I have (lucky me) a 800 that needs some Lovin

This is a very early Dave Funk upgrade, can’t tell from the outside but obvious when opened up.

Here’s where I ended - for now. Much clearer, more alive, easy for a dummy like me to understand, plenty loud .. but does run hot !!

I have several unrelated but great pairings - it’s obvious to me - it’s there or it isn’t - and agree its the combo of all the elements which makes it work. In this situation, I’m committed to the cabinet (right size, power handling, bought at a fair price, not-vintage and cherished, etc.), and...

I’m considering the WD version … mine is the standard subway - the WD definitely has a lot more features

“No Magic” means it doesn’t stand-out as a unique pairing (to use the wine phrase). Easy way to understand is just take one instrument and plug it successively into several different amplifiers - it always seems to sound “best” through one particular combination. I’m playing a Lakland Daryl...

I am looking for a replacement amplifier for my Bergantino HDN212. Current amp is a Mesa Subway 800 ... works fine, super reliable, but not magic. What cha using that I should check out? TIA

I brought none once … By the time I drove home and returned, the band was starting the last set. We were not rehired.

I suggest you will get more important tone stuff from speaker selection. I went through different drivers to fine the magic one: The Original - not sure the brand or model - silver, square mudmagnet - but because it was original (afaik, the amp was bought from the guy who had a really nice...

At one time - early 80’s - community speakers were built in the ghetto of Camden PA - adjacent to Philadelphia - iirc, they hired a lot of state-sponsored ‘cause they’re doing poorly

I’ve chosen a Bergantino HDN212 for my larger (not a bar) venues playing in a classic rock/funk band. There is no FoH support so “on stage” clarity is needed as well as thump out front. Its all electric bass (no upright) - think Cool & The Gang followed by Blob Segar and Keith Urban. What...

Yea - I’m real tempted … and I don’t blow speakers often - can’t think of the last time … still it’s a pig in a poke and it’d be nice to know there’s a suitable spare/replacement. I sent a note to Berg’ but haven’t heard back - heck they’ve had the whole weekend (j/k)

So the question is - if one were to buy a used Berg cabinet - which one would be prudent? There’s a maybe-overpriced HG(?) 312 on eBay which has my eye … I don’t need the Low B but a Low D is needed. I think 1 great cab would do me for my last 19 years on stage-earth … and 52# for that one...

Revitalizing this whole thread and no, I did not read all five pages … apparently these are no longer made. It seems to be a lot of Bergantino cabinets no longer made. Does anybody know what’s going on? Simple business decision or parts no longer available or … ??
