I have played through a bunch of amps and cabs recently. Here is my quandary. My first choice would be the EBS HD350 powering the new Bergantino HT210s and EX112S. I loved the HT322 and considered the Schroeder 210112, but the sound and portability (two cabs at 50#) are hard to beat. Here's where my problem is though. The cost of the EBS head and 2 Berg cabs is about $2500 which blows the budget. I can either go with the EBS head and save money with the Schroeder cab or I can get the two Bergie's and power it with a GK 1001RBII. Either way I can save about $500 on the whole setup. The problem is which route to go. GK and Bergie cabs or EBS head and Schroeder cab.
I play in a band doing 80's metal primarily. Also, some original projects on the side in more of a rock style. I primarily use Spector basses along with a P-Bass and Hamer 12 string.
I'm playing 70's hard rock (Zep, Sabbath etc) in my band. I'm thinking of going with Bergantino cabinets (Either one of the big three) with a Sunn 300T or Thunderfunk 550. I've heard the Bergie's have a vintage yet modern feel/sound. Although maybe you could pair them with a different amp? Even if you have to get a used amp.. You've picked two hi-fi/modern/bright amps.
GK/Bergs! Bergantino cabs will be an amazing platform for your style of music. I have hosted a jam for a long time and hear a variety of basses through my Bergie HT322. It sounds GREAT no matter what bass is thrown at it. I also have have the Mini-bergie stack HT/EX 112. I have found Bergantino speakers to be extremely versatile and outstanding. I also played through a GK1001RB II recent;y and was very impressed with it's power and tone. I like that head better than the EBS which I liked also. But I found the GK to be more versatile. Hope that helps. Gary
