i made a bass out of a cardboard box and a piece of oak flooring scrap... the tuners are faucet-handles and the strings are weed whacker twine.
GENIUS!!!!!
We need pictures of the details!

this project is very simple, takes about an hour or so to complete...
the most difficult part is finding the perfect size box!
How about a wooden tea chest, like the Skiffle bands used to use?
Excellent stuff, dude.

The first place I worked was a warehouse full of metal racking in every nook and corner of a very oddly shaped building. I found a suitable section in a place where the bosses rarely came past and strung a bungee chord over a section an upright that held shelves. Every now and then I'd sneak a couple of minutes playing my shelf-bass as I was passing... It sounded quite good too, vibrating through the wooden mezzanine flooring :mrgreen:
OMG! How cool is that?! :lol:

Dude that is way cool.
Are the f-holes actual holes or drawn on?
Okay everyone: what pickups? I vote K&K :)
thanx for the kind words to all of the above...
the f holes are indeed carved into the cardboard as the "sound holes"
my pickup i made is the inside disc of a Radio Shack Science Project Buzzer,
i connected the 2 wires to a common guitar jack.
