When were the first pac a seats showing up. I see a lot of the older videos of shows and players and they are all using chairs. Just wondering when the seats first started being used and who made the first ones.

| Not quite sure but I heard Duane Marrs invented them in the early 70s. |

I think Jack Heern did the Jac-Pac, or something like that...my memory ain't all that good. Not sure who was first.
Yeah, I bought a seat from the Jackson's there on Broadway in 1981 or 82....still have it....it's the one I use today. Been recovered and repaired a few times...still going...I ordered it when I was there one weekend...it did not come with the Sho-Bud badge though. |

I purchased my ACE seat back in the mid to late 1970s as I recall. I'm still using it.

Great guys, thanks for the info. Pac a seats were already being used when I started playing and just about thought you had to have one to play, lol. Then I saw some guys stting on chairs, their cases, milk crates and just about everything and they sounded great.😜

When I lived in Austin mid 70's Lucky Oceans got me a Sho-Bud seat for $44.00 because Asleep at the wheel had an endorsement with Sho-Bud,He brought it back to Austin on the bus so I didn't have to pay shipped...Used it forever.

| I bought my Sho-Bud seat in 1976. I thought it was a great idea and I still think it is! I was so tired of sitting on bar chairs or anything else I could find, plus, it holds all my stuff. I used it for over 30 years and I still have it. Right now, I'm using a Walker seat with a backrest. It's absolutely wonderful! I wish I had, had that idea way back then. |
