Cardboard standup bass

Here's a wonderful stand--up bass made out of a cardboard box, Radio Shack parts and weed-whacker twine:

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.
