razzthekid88 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm looking to buy a new cab, 610's as big as I want to go really and I've only recently came across these cabs. Anyone know anything about them? I was going to be opting for an Ampeg (it's an Ampeg-VR head i've got) but I've heard these are much better. Any thoughts?

rodl2005 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) MAte---if U wasnt THE authentic vintage cab to go with the VR..........the NV610 IS THE way to go!! I got a SVT2(non-pro) & I A?B'd an Ampeg 810E with the NV610 & the NV610 won in ALL areas!! Hands down. More punch, clarity(w/out ANY modern sounding-ness) distinction in upper & lower register, easier to move-lighter........just BETTER ALL ROUND - ALL IMHO of course...but there are MANY who'll agree with me- check out TALKBASS.COM & search NV610 Bergantino. Sounds AWESOME with the SVT2-which is one of the closest in design to the VR & early SVT's-NO master vol/Gain set up!! NV610's also handle OVERDRIVE beautifully. The Spkrs in it are specially voiced to compensate for the lack of horn etc.. & just the other week (when no-one was home) I cranked the SVT2 up to FLAT OUT, pointed the NV610 out the security doors-so it was pointing outside-I live in rural area!! :-) MAN did THAT sound fantastic!!!!!! No signs of the NV610 NOT handling the power, just pure sweet power tube overdrive...AWESOME. I HAD a SVT410HLF before the Berg. & that would 'fart out' anywhere near 5 & over on the VOLUME....Not so with the NV610. If U R after top end "ZING", modern slap top end snap- look elsewhere-EDEN etc... But(altho I do slap thru the 610 quite regularly & sounds GREAT) if U R after pure tube vintage tone the sealed, tight, sweet response of the NV610 is IT IMHO/IME I've not heard better. Oh & as far as size & manouverability goes..... this is a winner also. The SVT410HLF I used to own was far harder to manouver!!! I actually put skid rails on my NV610's rear. If U PM me I can send U some pics if U like. I just used solid plastic(recycled) garden stakes-black too. Just bought two-cut em at right length, shaped the ends, sanded 'em......... it's even easier to move now. Wasn't hard B4- but now I just tilt/roll. tilt onto it's back & slide. At 98lbs it's lighter than a lotta 410s also. Thinner than the 410HLF was too. All in all...I'm SO glad I got this cab-it's a KEEPER!!!!

Machines Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I tried a few Bergantino cabs at Music Live last year. They sound utterly fantastic... and aren't that badly priced. Our very own poptart is the UK dealer for them - check them out here: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I love my NV610 in ways that are probably illegal in some countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basszilla Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 +1 superb cabs. Bergs are spot on - punchy as heck with nice tight lows. Just recorded my debut album using the nv610 couldn't be happier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razzthekid88 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Ha sounds genious! That's pretty much what I've heard so far. They're not a lot more expensive than the Ampegs anyway so I'll keep saving I rekon and hopefilly get my hands on one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
