Dirt cheap pedal board!

[dannybuoy]

I saw these posted at Talkbass ages ago but IKEA didn't stock them in the UK. Now they do, and they are only £3:

Paint it and stick velcro on it and you have yourself a dirt cheap Pedalrtain alternative! The one from the original TB thread had been modified to look like this:

i made a pedal board quite similar to that, i transport it in a guitar gig bag and just fold the bit where the guitars neck would be over the top and into the handle on the front! (bit of extra padding) not sure how it'd handle the back of a transit van with cabs falling on it etc but it'll do ok for now

Are the gaps between the slats big enough to get patch cables through?

by the oooks of the done up one, yes. But if it doesn't then it'll be a job for the circular hand file!

Great idea - I may invest in one of these and buy a flight case to put it in.

Fantastic idea!

Where do you get the fluffy velcro stuff from?

Thats a fantastic idea but I have no idea where you can aquire the velcro either...

[cheddatom]

B&Q but it's way too expensive. I'm sure someone else has a better source.

[Dread Bass]

Ebay is good for velcro.

Also if you read the Talkbass thread another guy who copied the idea moved two of the lats to make the space between big enough for cabling.
