New Bergantino Neo Line; Pt. 2

Interested to hear your thoughts on the TH500 with your Berg! I've been debating if the Shuttle is the right amp for my CN112s, but didn't get a chance to test the Aggie with them. I really dug the MBFusion 500 with these cabs, but have also been really impressed with the TH500 through other setups. Would love to hear your feedback!

I will make some comments in a week or two after- I get a chance to play in a few situations- the TH350 through epi. 15/210 playing reggae, blue and R&B was amazing- really sounded wonderful- but is over kill for most of the clubs where I live- so the motivation to find a one cab rig commenced- reading KJung and a number of TBer's positive feedback with a TH500 and CN212- I am looking forward in the experience- people seem to think its a great combo for R&B and blues and no doubt reggae.....
I once owned a GS12 and GS12NT and really liked it- that was several years ago and ironically some new developments in design- so I thought another 212 would be worth trying again....

I happened to stop back at Premier Bass today to pick up one of my basses from the in-house luthier, and they just happened to have a pair of CN112s hooked up to a TH500, so I of course just "happened" to give the rig a test run. 
It sounded fantastic and made an awesome match with the CNs! I was able to directly compare with the MBFusion 500 that I liked previously, and the Tone Hammer won. Now I want one. Lol

This is my recent favorite rig combination as well!!
Either TC RH750 + 2 CN112 or Tone Hammer + 2 CN112
Bergs & the TH500 are a great match.
I use 2 AE112'S with my TH500 often and with my RW-P with TI flats = huge round pillowy but punchy vintage tone for the rest of the band to nestle in.
Lovely!

i just picked up a tone hammer from bass san diego, and love it...I never really did love my mb 800, matter fact I'm selling it, and some bergs...i guess it depends on the styles you play.

totally agree, though i am selling my bergs cuz i just picked up an sl112, and will get another one soon...i love the bergs but the aggies sound great, and they're so light.

That's my rig. TH500 with a CN-212 cab. Real happy with it. On a side note, I was due for a new car and was able to downsize to a smaller car I preferred.
We combine the Puma 500, 900, and 1000 with all of the Bergantino line here at the shop @ bassandbeyond.net, but I especially like the Puma gear with the CN series, it's really the perfect match IMHO, sounds even better to my ears than the Puma matched with the original TechAmp cabs.
I will have to come out to Bass and Beyond to check out the new Bergs. I just haven't had the time.
Hi, if anyone is looking for a TecAmp Puma 900 in new condition with original box, paperwork, and accessories and you have a pair of Bergantino HD112's, send me a PM!
I've been watching your clips online of this pairing and have really been digging what I hear. Any idea if a Puma 1000 fits in the front pocket of an igig bag?
I would stay away from the Puma1000, unless you are planning on using two 4ohm cabs. The Puma900 is the thing. Very even, warm, and punchy. Perfect head for a 4ohm impedance, and that very nice combination of 'relatively neutral' combined with 'non sterile'.

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, it is even MORE appropriate for a large, single 8 ohm cab, because of the impressive 8ohm wattage (basically, the same as your Orange with the impedance switch).
My main point was to stay away from the Puma1000 unless you have '2ohm needs', and even then, given the way they have that amp configures, there are better options. My 'perfect for 4ohm impedance' was an inaccurate way of saying 'perfect for 4ohms or above'!
Noted! Thanks Ken. Keep wondering about a Puma 900 (for use my Baer ML112) ...or TH500. Hmmm. Not that I am unhappy with the Orange, but I'm going smaller whenever possible as long as the musicality and tonal performance and touch sensitivity is there!
