can you show me the interior storage setup on your seat?
I just recently picked up a pedal steel seat kit from Jimmie Hudson and before I finish up the exterior, I was pondering whether I should add a couple compartments.
Since this is my first pedal steel seat, I really haven't thought out how I will utilize the seat storage. If I see some other players' seats out there, perhaps I can some ideas on how I can customize mine.
Anyway, if you could share a photo of the interior of your seat with info on how and what you store in your seat compartment, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

It's been months since I've packed one for a show or a tour, but I remove all partitions, pack a small pedal board and vp, picks and bars in a small pelican case. All this is velcro'd down, strings, winder and cables float on top. Twice in the past few years I've forgotten a vp wallwart-memorable performances- so there's always a Moyo vp velcro'd in now.

Actually, they all seem to have similar spaces. Most players like a space for the voume pedal, a space to neatly fit strings, and basically the rest are for possibles.
I paricularly liked the old Sho-Bud seat that I used from the 80s until just a couple years back. There's a photo of the interior in Mr. Ben's thread. https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtop ... steel+seat
Either that or the arrangement in the Steeler's Choice seat that I'm currently using like the one in Dave's lower pic.
I suppose if you had a particularly need with some custom partions that Dan Rollans st SC could accommodate you.

Sure, mine is more of a Mr Haney collection of stuff I need, I may need and perhaps may never need ! Many times also carry 1 or 2 stompbox pedals as well, I make them fit . This seat photo is rather lite with stuff.
A few months before Covid shut us down I started carrying a Pedal board so this latest photo has no stomp boxes. Carry the stuff you need now but also some stuff you MAY need later. Tools, bandaids, tape, spare tuners , all sorts of adapters ... Even an Ipad/Iphone charger .
I can't tell you how many times something went nuts on a gig , PA , another amp etc, and I just happen to have a quick fix.
I also carry a GIG bag which has everything else I own in it !
I also carry a spare "micro" amp head in the car. I've never needed it but the Bass player did once or twice.
I'm hopeful someone will manufacture a REFRIGERATED seat !
Whats in your seat is not about organization but rather "whats in your seat" .

Two requirements in my seat are a small pencil flashlight and a pair of surgeons clamps. The are great for locating and removing broken string ends.I also have a tool like the pick they use to clean you teeth.
The were very handy when I was playing MCI guitars.
They work well replacing the rubber O rings on the bell cranks.
