I still use a vintage ACE seat that's older than our adult children.

I bought a Scott Dixon "Flying Dixon" a few years ago here on the forum and love it. It's pressed, faceted aluminum so it's light weight, compact but really rugged. Everyone calls it my bait bucket. After I fill it with all my stuff, it's not so light-weight anymore but at least I know I've always got just about anything I might need.

I made my seat around 10 years ago. Still working great and the foam is still holding up.

I voted 'Sho-Bud' since that's the first seat I bought, and still use in Norway. A couple of decades later I bought a 'Steel Seat by Joe Naylor', which I use in the US.

I use a steeler's choice at my Emmons and a keyboard folding seat at my Wilcox. Both work great.

My steel seat was made by Rick Trowyer's Father(Humming Bird Music, Sugar Creek OH.) It was a gift from my girl friend.
I have done a lot of customizing on it. It had Brown upholstery, Played a white MSA at the time, Re- Upholstered it Black, Shortened legs to fit me and my guitar. Thinned the foam padding on the back rest. Now fits great and looks great behind my Black GFI.

I have two of Dan's Steelers Choice Sidekicks which are just awesome !! love the matching colours for my two Zum's too :-}

Also have one of Joe's "lite" seats which I only use when I fly to gigs - fits in the overhead pretty well.

I don't know how old your adult children are, but my seat is an ACE from sometime in the Eighties.

I just bought a steel seat...one of the smaller ones. It's light and there's less space to fill with junk.

Yep. Our little kids were born in the 1980s. I've had the seat reupholstered once.

Back in the beginning when I was playing around the apartment, I used to sit on my amp. Even then, I recognized the need for a correct height seat. One day, I went down to the basement and decided I wasn't coming up until I had made something. The result was a 3-legged stool with a vinyl covered foam seat. It's lightweight, and just the right height for me. Now, I use it at gigs and haven't seen any reason to get anything else.
