What's this got to do with Tyra Banks not NAKED, & her pedal board?
Nothing really. --- I just couldn't think of a Good Title. 
To be really honest, I don't even know if I posted it in the right section?
It's one of my project ideas.
I Just thought you guys might like to see, some of what I have been up to over the weekend.
A little while ago I went to the local recovery centre, Tip/Rubbish dump
I have written about this place a few times, it's a huge shed that
sells off items that are recovered from peoples hard rubbish, before it's bulldozed into the ground.
Well I found a Franklin Volleyball storage case, it looked like it might be usable as a pedal case.
I don't know what a new one of these kits sells for, but even if it was $50+,
it's still a lot cheaper than the $299au to $2349au;
That the Aussie music stores are asking for a Boss BCB-60,
and the $120au to $199au for a BehringClone PB600.
With the addition of a bit of protective upper foam,
and some stiffer lower foam (not yet attached) it would make a very nice MegaPeadCase.
Outside of case from hinge side, so you can read the label.
The inside of the case - with the bits that were in it when I bought it.
A few different ideas to show you how large this case is.
Nearly all Boss: even room for a TU-12
Variations:
More variations:
Like I mentioned, I just need to get some firm foam for the bottom of the case.
And a bit more protective ripple foam for the lid.
I have been thinking about adding some removable hinges,
and some Velcro or something similar, as safety snaps for the lid.
Overall, the case cost me a Whole "One" Dollar ($1) from the recovery centre.
The ripple foam came from some packing courtesy of work.
And I still have to beg - borrow or buy the other items.
For those that are wondering about the size:
Overall dimensions = 830mm x 260mm x 92mm
Regards Dr. Bob 
Now --- about that subject title?  |
