Not to take away from the wonderful products here... But I've personally never been a fan of the wooden sided, single chassis plate on top, form factor for tube gear. I like my jacks on the back, controls on the front, no cables entering from the top or sides, etc... All in a "classic" style heavy gauge steel chassis. And I'm a machinist so I have access to every possible metalworking tool. Does bottlehead offer chassis-less kits at a slightly reduced cost?
