Has anyone ever put an electric outlet in their seat? I need two plug-ins close to me for a volume pedal and a Profex. They both have wall-warts and take up to much room on my power strip. Can I cut a hole in the side of the seat and mount the outlet flush with the seat without hurting anything? How would you make a cord to go to the power strip?
Thanks,
Johnny |

Ken and Dan Rollins, Ark, (501)888-5907, among others, make pack-seats which contain an AC strip built in to the right end, with the cord wrapping around the bottom center section, and out of view for storage.

The seat I used to have had a Sears label on the power strip. He probably used those because they were the right length for the seat, and had a long enough cord to be useful. I don't remember how it was mounted though.[This message was edited by Jim Smith on 28 February 2003 at 11:10 PM.] |

After I bought my seat and decided that I wanted a power strip, Ken was busy with new orders at the time so rather than wait I added this strip from an electrical supply.I Like it on the back where all the cords, wal-warts etc are out of the way and hidden from the audience. One switch shuts off the power to all of my equipment. .jpg)

I just looked at my seat and it would be a job to retro one in there. The side it goes on is shorter to allow for the space of the power strip. The strip is held in underneath with a couple of "L" brackets. The visible side slides between the corner moldings on the seat, the corners are put on and then screwed into the strip. Cutting the side of the seat down would be the challenge for me. Gene's idea looks like the way to go for me.------------------

Gene,
What kind of seat do you have there? It sure looks like a dandy. Something I could use.
