    How does a well built DIY 112 cab compare?

    It’s alot of work and $$ if you want to build a cab, you needs the tools the material and the knowledge. To have really good results it’s more than checking out a youtube video and get up and go. I would simply just buy one of a good brand that already suits your needs. Plus you won’t have...

    When a bass just doesn’t have “it”

    To me you just answer your question. It doesn’t have IT... so sell the bass instead of dumping a bunch of $$ on something useless since from the start it doesn’t have that IT that YOU like.
