Old robust metal toolbox, now fretless and very-low-diddley-bow bass. Tuned to C (.160 string gauge!!!), scale length 34". P90 bridge pickup. Fretboard is black acrylic plexiglass, neck is from oak.

Awesome looking , but, a piece of advice if i may . You might wanna swap out that battery for something else , under pressure like that it will want to leak , or even explode , or oooz out that crusty white crap eventually . . and that's no fun . not to mention , it is a soft metal and something harder will most likely give you a better sound anyway .
Just my free advice ,.... (and may be worth every penny) ;-)
Hmm. Rusty and chipped goodness. Darn you. I drug home a couple of smaller metal tackle boxes. Rusty inside. I was maybe going to toss them, but now I see they might make good didleys.

That is a beefy string gauge. Wow!
oh .. i really wanna see a spark-plug bridge on that ;-)
Cheers Priit , That's such a cool guit !
Thanks, guys!
BrianQ - not heavy at all, the box is quite lightweight.
The anonymous pick - that's advice I should maybe listen. Although it is empty battery, I try to search something similar and red, less harmful.
Uncle John - I'm glad I saved those metal boxes you intended to toss :)
