Cigar Box

I'm on holiday and I stumbled across a stall selling Cigar Box guitars. Sadly, there were no bass versions available. He seemed dubious as to whether it was possible to produce such a thing. Anyone on Basschat got one, made one? What're they like?

... you can make an electric bass out of absolutely anything. I've seen one made from a length of scrap 2x4. Actually sounded quite good.

Did he use tone scrap?

Check out youtube videos of Pekko Käppi & K:H:H:L. Can't link to one at the moment as I am at work and YouTube is blocked. The guitar and bass are both "cigar box" instruments. The bass is played by Nuutti Vapaavuori, I believe.

EDIT: found a picture:
