For sale (or trade) is my Bergantino Forte D amp in superb condition including Gator case. I bought it from Bass Direct at the end of June ’23 for £899. According to Mark, the previous owner only owned it for 3 months from new! This makes it approx. 20 months old….a mere baby. These are now £1,199 new (Bass Direct) so I think it makes mine look quite a bargain!
Great amp, with a great reputation, powerful, articulate, open sounding. Mainly home use and only gigged it half a dozen times. I’ve used it with both my Berg and Vanderkley cabs and never had to have the volume above “11 o’clock”. It is LOUD, clear and punchy! Why sell? Well the merry-go-round of gear continues and I’ve just bought a Glockenklang…….as one comes in, another goes out.
Collection preferred from Aberdeen so you can try it out. As Aberdeen is a long way from most of civilisation, I will ship to mainland UK at cost using Parcelforce. I’ve estimated this based on a London postcode to be - £12 via Express24 with no insurance OR £40 via Express24 including insurance to £725
