I've owned a range of markbass, bergantino and barefaced cabs and gigged lots with TC cabs. I'm the odd one out on that I'd rate the barefaced the least out of all them, apart from their portability, and i found that despite the protestations to the contrary, the compact sounded exactly like an old school 1x15 and midget T exactly like a small 1x12, but the midget took fx well. The Bergantinos are in a different league to the others, Just phenomenal in every way, best bass gear I've bought. I like the sound of markbass cabs but not the projection which isnt great at filling a room with solid low end, or excessive cone excursion. Which to be fair doesn't seem to hurt them. I owned a traveller 102p among others and for most jobs it was a great solution. Out of all those mentioned I'd suggest the TC rs212 as having seemed the best value for money as a gigging all rounder, you can then add another or an rs210 later if needed. Great form factor, power and punch, tonal versatility etc. just expect it to get shabby quickly unless cased. It's worth mentioning I used a range of amps with the cabs mentioned, little mark 2, orange terror, shuttle 3, shuttle 6, MoMark, Promethean, crate etc spring to mind. I also did indoor/outdoor/big/small/mic'd/backline only gigs with them over a period of time, so I'm speaking from first hand gigging experience of it helps. [/quote] 100% agree on the Berg/TC comments. The TC RS cabs are fantastic. The RS210 is my personal favourite 2x10 for the size/price/tone. The Bergs have an amazing build quality. They have just released a new CN212, which I think is going to be a BIG hit. 48lbs 2x12, 700W, with what has been described as a typical Berg quality tone, with a slight low mid bump, (similar to the Aguilar DB and TC RS cabinets). Jim really does know how to design an exceptional cabinet that still appeals to those who may like a more tradtional tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Steam, soaking and kerf cuts are the usual way of bending wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 They're bloody tough cabs. Although they don't hold up well to TC electronic powered chainsaws http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frm_sn3G0As Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
