dannybuoy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) 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: [url="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50058512"]http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50058512[/url] [url="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50058507"]http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50058507[/url] 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: Edited August 28, 2009 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Are the gaps between the slats big enough to get patch cables through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it doesn't then it'll be a job for the circular hand file! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burno70 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Great idea - I may invest in one of these and buy a flight case to put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 B&Q but it's way too expensive. I'm sure someone else has a better source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Ebay is good for velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
