Opinions on bergantino cab with this rig...

Hi all, i am heavily considering purchasing a Bergantino HD410 cab.

Currently i run 2 rigs, one is a TC RH750, into an RS210 (small rig). My bigger rig is an SVT-CL into a 410hlf.

My main bass is a custom Status Graphite S-2. At the minute I mainly play Jazz fusion/ funk in my band... Using my TC head, as i feel it gives a tighter tone for those genres.

At times i feel like the RS210 doesn't give me enough punch, and i find the Ampeg 410HLF too "boomy". I feel the Bergantino HD410 is a good investment and could perhaps even replace my Ampeg cab, but would like your opinions first.

So basically the rig would be the Status S-2 using a TC RH750 head, into the Bergantino HD410... Or maybe even my SVT-cl.

Opinions on both head/ cab combinations would be great!
 
I think that you would be very happy with the HD410. It will be punchy and full, but with a level of clarity and articulation that you may not have heard before. I like the RS210, but it is (intentionally) voiced to sound a bit on the "vintage" side, so it'll be a tad more warm/round. But the HD410 will be more full. The 410HLF has a massive low end, but those lows can sometimes overrun the mids/highs. Curiously, though, I have heard some older 410HLF's which sounded much more articulate, so they may have used different drivers over time.

But just about any Berg cab is always a safe bet. He makes numerous lines, and each line has its own vibe, but the HD410 (or HD212) would serve you well, I'd wager.
