I made a cardboard box upright bass using scrap oak flooring as the neck, and i made a pickup by breaking away the plastic casing of a Radio Shack Science Project Buzzer, and strings are weed whacker twine and the tuners are faucet-spiggots.
the cardboard bass plays great and sounds wonderfuL.

heres a vid link for proof...

the project took a little more than an hour and i'm still tweaking it.

That's very cool. Nice sound. Please provide additional construction details such as how did you join the wood the the cardboard.

Thanks

i used GORILLA GLUE THE STRONGEST GLUE ON EART, but ya gotta just use dots because that glue expands as it dries... i used a few dry wall screws too
i have pictures of HOW-TO do it yourself at my webpage
www.geocities.com/cardboardbass.html

its a simple project thats really fun for real.
