A cardboard box upright bass looks absurd,
until you hear the sound quality.
The Bogdon Box Bass is a 2-string upright bass that is available as a DIY kit.
The oak neck assembly is pre-cut and pre-drilled.
The only tools needed are a screwdriver, a hot glue gun, packing tape, and a razor blade for cutting along-the-dotted-lines on the cardboard box. A Bogdon Transducer is included at no extra cost. The $69.95 Bogdon Box Bass is not a replacement for a standard Double Bass, but rather the Bogdon Box Bass is a novelty that sounds incredible. The box bass is gig worthy as it is recordable.

thanx Tom,
200 of these box basses have been sold from my ebay site. you can read my feedback from the purchasers at http://myworld.ebay.com/aje3330/
you can even contact each of the purchasers to ask their honest oppinion about a cardboard box 2-stringed electric upright bass.
i'm biased, i think it sounds damm close to a standard wood double bass.
