I seen a Guy from Hudersfield playing a Tea Chest Bass made out of an old Brown Suitcase with a brass screwed together Pool Cue and Nylon Stremmer Line. Perhapps not as loud but easy to transport and you can pack your clothes in it as well! I though this was a great idea and I'm sorry I can't remember his name.

Hobgoblin had a tea chest bass for sale in the Call Lane Shop in Leeds a while back, I was not made from an Old Tea chest however, But plywood and Plastic Angled Eddging strip.
