hmm...Thinking...
How strong is aluminum tube ?
Diameters 1,5mm walls, inside 20, outside 23.5
Can it handel lightest bass string what is 0.26, 0.32?
Maybe I can make it stronger when I need it?
I read that aluminum can't handle weight very well.
With guitar string there will be pulling tension.

I have a two stringer made out of 3/4 square and a three stringer out of 1" square. I believe it will hold up better than the common 1x2 oak.
Have you got any pictures Yankee Dog
Here is the 2 string. It is my motorcycle travel git. The neck rides on the outside. the body rides inside a side bag. Took a 5400 mile trip last summer, works great in is a blast to play. Gets lots of looks.
here is the neck strapped to the outside. held in place with two bungie cords which put way more pressure than a couple or three strings. Didnt warp nary a bit, rain or shine.
How about using a miniature slide type pot ?
Maybe some mini pot.

I think best solution is minibox attached to the tube with pot and jack inside.
Damn. Can't find right size box. I need to fit in open 6.35 female jack with male jack, cabels and pot.
64x40x30mm is great size. I have that size box. problem is that inside is too small.
72x44x25 is great also. Problem is that I don't know inside dimensions.
