    Well, I am looking forward to purchasing a pedalboard in the near future and want to find something decently priced. This is what should be on the board: Dunlop Crybaby Wah 105q, Boss Bass Chorus, Tech 21 Vt Bass, Boss RC-20XL, and most likely Boss DD-3 and Boss Syb-3. Not sure about the last two pedals, but I want space for a few more pedals. Also I want the pedalboard to bring a case. Help please!?

    Rondo Music has the cheapest cases, although I love there basses I have seen the fabric that the pedals velcro to just fall apart.

    Atypical, not a typical...
    Pedal Pad makes a pedalboard/case for a good price, with decnt cable routing, and plenty of space....

    I like the SKB boards, very sturdy, and several options.

    they show the board and the actual case as seperate items, so would I have to purchase both?

    Don't rule out making your own. Mine cost about $5, took about a half hour to make, and is perfect for my needs.

    Do you have pictures? How big? What are all the materials needed and where did you get them?

    Don't laugh!, cut a 3 1/2 x 1 handgrip at top,
    redrilled mounting holes and also have an EBS Multicomp cable tied to it now as well.
    Scrap lumber I had in garage.Glued and scewed 2 - 1/8 x 2 strips of birch on bottom edges to keep it from rocking on cable ties.

    It's cool, but I think I'd be better off buying one, Rhondo's boards look really cheap! :D

    I'm tempted to make one out of a tea tray now. Maybe glue a teapot and some china cups to it...

    I just bought a barely-used SKB-45 powered pedalboard from a friend. I'd been meaning to pick up one of these for quite some time now. It's supposed to be SKB's top of the line. Am really looking forward to getting it loaded up and fired up... :hyper:
