Hi everyone. I've been building my own cabinets ever since I took up bass guitar two years ago, and I've got my method down to enough of a science that I think I could make some money out of it.
My market would range from beginning musicians who need basic gear to start out, to working musicians who are looking for low cost gear for performance at small-medium gigs, and also for anyone looking for low-cost PA speakers for DJ, announcement, and general stage duties. Preliminary costs estimates show that I can underprice a lot of new equipment manufacturers while still taking reasonable profit.
Anyhow, seeing how you all have your own experiences with cabinets, and your own preferences for the fit and finish you like, what do you think of a cabinet like this one? I built this cabinet out of 3/4" birch ply with internal bracing, and it houses a new 15" peavey LF woofer. The sound is pure, fat, and crunchy, like a bass cab should be. I'm currently asking $200 for it. Do you guys think that's about on target, and are the aesthetics up to scratch for a budget-oriented cabinet?
Thanks for your input!
