Just got back from lunch and back from picking
up my new cabinet . . . a Bergantino IP310!!

AND . . as if that wasn't enuff . .

I just checked my e-mail and my wife sent me a
message saying my dealer called and my new
baby is IN!! SR5HH!!!

If anyone recalls, I ordered a new SR5HH in Jan
but it was lost/stolen by Fedex in Apr/May. The
claim was filed on 5/10 and SLO rushed me a new
one & it's ALREADY here! WoW, great cycle time!

BP, Dargin, & Co., you guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!
I am a fan/customer for life!

pics to follow . . .

Whoops. The people at the factory must not have gotten the memo that production on all instruments stop while they make BP a new bass. :rolleyes:


:D
Congrats!

My current GASometer is pegging for an IP112 to go with my new TrueVoice preamp.
I'm sure the HH Stingray and the IP310 will be a dangerous combination....

Lethal. FREAKIN LETHAL.

And Ken, if you get that tube craving you can just front end the IP with an Ampeg SVP or something of the like.

Yeah, I'm thinkin about taking that approach Travis . . SVP-CL.
If I find that kills my need for my still new Ampeg "Classic" stack,
I'll off it and put together a nice little rack for the IP. I'll check
out some other pre's too, I hear Jim and others recommend
the Demeter HBP-1 and/or the Aguilar DB680?

Originally, I wanted a small rig/combo to use for smaller gigs
(I can't always lug around an 8x10) and thought I could hold
out and hear the MarkBass stuff once it hit GC but this offer
came out of nowhere and I got a great deal on it.

I've heard only excellent reviews on the IP310 and just about
everyone who buys a Berg loves it . . so hopefully I'll share the
same opinion.

And it's still downsizing for me, I can't believe how compact
it is . . only 15" deep and still light for a powered cab @ 86lbs,
even feels lighter than that to me - can't wait to hear it, hope
it's as good as they say it is ;)

The SR5HH, I already know how good it's going to be :D

I see your in NJ. Just out of curiosity, did you get it here in NJ and from which dealer ? PM me if you don't want to post.

Thanks

Hey check out the BBE BMAX-T pre-amp if you're looking for the tube type of sound. It's an Alembic F1-X on steriods. I just picked up a "pre-loved" one from talkbass, just got it today. So far so good, definitely exceeds my expectations for the price.

I wish I had known you wanted one. I just sold one about a month ago.

I don't know which I'm more excited about for YOU. On one hand Tobacco Burst is my favorite trans color and the SR5 HH will surely be a B.A.M.F.! On the other hand Bergantino cabs are freak'n amazing and the IP series is just nuts-unbelievable! I played the same cab when the IP just came out and I was floored. If I hadn't already purchased my 2 Bergs I might of considered getting one.

Congrats!:D

Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday and everything else! Pictures Please. :D



I got my Berg HT112 yesterday, I haven't had a chance to mess with it much, but this thing is all wrong, it's wayyyy too small, I can pick it up with one hand. You're not supposed to be able to pick up a bass cab in one hand... right?
