BERGANTINO FORTÉ D - Bass Amp Review

[@zulu5157]

Frank makes the amp better....what a groove machine he is

[@PerezBroz-p5o]

That thing he did on the flats was so good

[@toddwarsing5929]

I just received my Forte D and a 2x12 NXT. Best amp I’ve ever owned after 25 years of playing. The clarity is superb.

[@francoishtzl157]

I don't know how are the cab, I have a Forte, insane. But those cab, I just don't know if they will sound how I want with distortion in it

[@BARTOZZI-OFFICIAL]

Frank is my favourite bassface performer since zi was a kid 😂 incredible tone as always

[@firestarten]

It's even easier to convince someone else to carry your gear when it's light! When I show up to a gig, I need both hands for beer

[@philipschrantz8402]

I’ve been using a Bergantino rig for the last three years. Pricey? Yep. Worth it? Beyond measure. You want one.

[@_B_E_A_D_G_C]

Hahahaha Jim’s response 😂😂 Best cabs and heads in the business in my opinion! Proud Bergantino owner here ! 😃

[@jasonlhoag]

Yo Franks groove is 🔥

[@Sonic_Axe]

Bergantino amps are awesome. I have the B amp with an nxt 112 cabinet. I can’t say enough great things about it. No regrets whatsoever.

[@mikehertz6507]

Me too. I have 2 12s that I changed over to Faital speakers. Way smoother buttery feel. Definitely an upgrade I love their speakers.

[@Iofflight78]

I have the B amp with the Reference 322. I'm so glad I have it since the Ref 210 was discontinued.

[@wpdoyle]

If you do even a modest amount of research on Bergantino gear, you inevitably find people referring to the "revealing" or "honest" nature of it. And Gregor is 100% correct when he says that amps of this quality can reveal your technical shortcomings (5:02). A/B the rig in this demo with almost any widely distributed gear and you'd probably agree! For some, this might be really intimidating or off-putting. And it is probably true that players with more refined technique would get on easier with it, at least at first. It's like using a high-resolution camera, capturing more 'information' from your bass. But you could always compensate with the amp's outstanding EQ control, if needed. For me, in 25+ years of playing bass, it's the best sounding gear I've ever used

[@emanonymous]

berg has been my dream amp for years ever since i saw the 410 in bass player mag

[@johncbeer]

Love that you played several basses through it. Would love to hear a comparison between their NXV, NXT and HG cabs.

[@LeoNovel]

Frank Itt is my new hero!!!!! ♥️💪🏻

[@JoshuaLTRyan]

I like it. this is exactly the kind of amp I want. So many times you can't just use a di to foh, , and if you can, you might still need stage volume, etc. I can add my own color as needed per situation. Very good.

[@ironxmike83]

I test drove a Fodera through a Bergantino a few years ago in San Diego. No joke, this rig will shine a humbling light on your playing. LOL

[@PhilosophicalCat]

Getting a Bergantino amp+cab killed my GAS for amps. I'm always eyeing new basses but amplifiers are no longer on my "me wants it radar"

[@jreid641]

I have one of these, use it all the time. It sounds and works great. I think its way better sounding than many others I’ve owned and used over the years.

[@cestusfr]

That old gibson bass sound was sweet ^__^

[@brianwilliams4789]

Frank has a great "stank" face, nice chops. Unfortunately not many places to hear this gear live near me.

[@Sams911]

just got the NXT210 to go with my new Ashdown 12-Band 600... wow! I like it almost more than my Aguilar DB751 with my two Aguilar SL210's.. so worth the price!

[@williamdeming853]

Dude has so much soul! Really enjoying hearing the bass demos.🤘🍻

[@derPaul76]

the bass player is a show of its own! like your videos!

[@fb-ws3gb]

Frank Itt! Was für eine schöne Überraschung :-) Ich wünsche mir ein Video, in dem Frank den Gibson drei Stunden lang ohne Unterbrechung spielt

[@jamescoderre9595]

Bergantino make great bass amps.

[@smartass2361]

The 8 thumbs down must be for the impatient folks that didn't watch to the end in order to get their Sandberg fix. As always, great demo and playing.

[@mattrodela2030]

Really great review. Thanks for posting.

[@robertbennett708]

So awesome you guys! Bassplayaahh!🎸

I love me some Frank! That man is NASTY....

[@telecasterbear]

Your walnut gibson bass is beautiful.

[@cedge100]

Frank rules!

[@Metalbass1979]

This was a great video. What are your thoughts on DNA amps? I've been using their 1350 head and 410 cab for years. I can't see myself ever needing anything more than what it has.

[@keithmcduffie7182]

I CAN'T TAKE IT!!! I DEMAND A FRANK ITT T-SHIRT .... RIGHT NOOOW!!!! Frank Is The REAL DEAL...He Flawlessly Did What My Virtuoso Brother-in-law Told Me To Do In Order To Nail Down "My Style" ..... Rehearse With 3 - 5 Guitars With The Same Amp Rig & If You Sound Like "You" On All Of Them, That's Your "Style". Here's A Challenge: Since It Was Stated That This Amplifier Shines A Light On A Players "Shortcomings"😜 Someone Should Play A Ken Smith Bass Through It & See What Happens....😁

[@Maschinenfreak3]

Frank Itt is amazing!

[@danielmcmillanii1441]

Can you do a video on the v bass we’ve been seeing in the background?

[@srbagacinho4421]

He have a video about his basses

[@dukkedusse]

is this the grill rattling when Frank hits the E string on the precision bass?

[@michaelschomann971]

1:27 Ups schon wieder gebrochen ^^ Frank is soooo ein Groovemonster

[@clist9406]

Sounds killer

[@sepp374]

Frank ist einfach eine Maschine 👍🏻 @Gregor,welche Saiten sind auf dem 6 Saiter Fretless?

[@basstheworldofficial]

La Bella Black Nylon

[@No.0.o.0]

Does it have power in the 50hz range? A lot of the lightweight stuff I've tried just has lots of low mids not low lows.

[@seangautama]

A Genz-Benz Streamliner will get you low end you won’t believe from a class D amp. It has a tube preamp and they’re no longer made. Incredible amp if you can find one used.

[@MrGUEDES166]

ToeJam & Earl theme in 2:50 kkkkkk Nice!!!

[@lauriehwrdlh]

Oooh! Loving white Yamaha bbg5s Frank!....oh, was that not what I was meant to pay attention to?

[@basstheworldofficial]

It’s the BB G5A

[@louishugues4106]

Hello , does the Fender P bass have still the Kloppman pickup installed ?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Yes

[@vrsoriano]

Equivalent or better than a Tonehammer?

[@markbass354]

COOL BUT WHERE IS LARS AND RENE

[@reneflachsenhaar2968]

At the moment , I am at home......on my couch to get even more specific!

[@markbass354]

HEY RENE

[@CountNetsrac]

Which Yamaha bass is Frank playing in this video?

[@CountNetsrac]

@Viktor Riemer I looked already when Gregor published the last video, but I couldn't find anything. It looks a bit like the Nathan East signature model but with humbuckers. And the normal BBs look quite different.

[@CountNetsrac]

@Viktor Riemer The normal BBs I know. I actually have one standing right beside me and I love it. So @Gregor would you make a demo of this model? And of the flying V bass in the background, too? ;)

[@basstheworldofficial]

Frank is playing a Yamaha BB G5A, these haven't been produced in over 20 years (I believe).

[@alanscharrer5255]

Have been sooooo intrigued by this amp builder. Love the ability to start really clean with high headroom. Bit pricey but as it is so often said, you get what you pay for!

[@_B_E_A_D_G_C]

I own the B|Amp and the NXT 212 - seriously the best sounding gear I have ever played . Ever .

[@JamesPangote]

Impressive😎

[@sandmann4978]

Yeah, Frank Itt Itt Itt Itt Itt!!!

I wish i could buy myself a 4string bass and ampli.

Fantastic sound but I think WWE might come after them over the nXt logo. 😂

0:31. Go ahead. Pause it. You will acknowledge and agree that it is the universal facial expression of Constipation. The actual full abdominal muscle exertion, in an effort to expel a hard object, measuring diameter of 20cm/π, from an opening cavity of less then half of the hard object.

[@JToddSpacek]

Dude...as much as I respect the player and the channel.....that's some funny 💩

[@pauldershem]

If the amp were equipped with a variable high-pass filter on the front panel, I would buy one.

[@basstheworldofficial]

That’s the Forte HP. Review will follow in a few weeks

[@andyholmes1507]

Well it couldn't make me sound worse at least

[@marklowe7431]

The better the player the less the gear.

[@mikeyaffe7498]

Better is subjective... player, subjective, less gear, subjective. Juan Alderete has 300 pedals, and I wouldn't call him worse for it. His music is more aggressive in every way and he specializes in synthy sounds. That said, not even that makes him better, it just defines his sound with more meaning. He's a gear head so he would probably like everything from Behringer on up. His tone is definitely in his hands. Better is such a weird word.

[@ryanwood6407]

Nah only practise makes you a better bass player 🤣

[@stevenordstedt2535]

Frank would sound a lot better than the Dead sounding Basses he played. If he played or brought up the Midrange and Treble. Very Bland Sounding. Not a Good Sound.

[@christianpaulroldan4010]

Why is the facial expression?

[@Astronometric]

“What comes inside is exactly what comes outside, but louder”. Then go DI and save your money. I really don’t understand this kind of amps... if I want an amp is because I want a color.

[@basstheworldofficial]

the DI doesn't solve the "louder" aspect of the occasion ;)

[@ecgecg8014]

Et il va me rendre meilleur ? Tu parles... Drôle de pub. Un peu... ridicule.

[@Shoot_and_Scoot]

Been playing bass 25 years. Never used a drive, never seen any bassist use a drive. Every amp and preamp these days has a drive. Why. It’s not a guitar you don’t need distortion. Or overdrive. These new small amps are just class d car amplifiers with 1/4” inputs and a preamp

Clickbait title for a paid promotion video? Disappointing, I enjoyed your objectivity.

[@basstheworldofficial]

did you watch the video? I did what I'm always doing and all our videos are sponsored. BassTheWorld is a business

[@daviddesmond2143]

Bass the World does a great job demoing gear and other items of bass interests and I doubt they get rich doing this. There is nothing wrong with them posting "clickbait" to earn a little $ to pay expenses and keep going. They are certainly dedicated and put out excellent pro level videos. If any item has a flaw, clickbait or not, they will tell us.

[@cabbycabby1770]

The title is just a little fun. They clearly explain in the review why they titled it that way. Also, do you think they produce all of these videos and have all of this gear because they are a rag-tag team of independently wealthy bass hobbyists? They are running a business and always have disclaimers about sponsored content.
