Blumenstein Audio bases for Bottlehead amps (BlumenBottle bases, if you like) now have the option of coming with a clear acrylic bottom plate! Show off your handiwork while protecting the bottom.

We floated this idea over on the Blumenstein Ultra Fi thread (http://www.bottlehead.com/smf/index.php/topic,1943.msg34882.html#msg34882) and since we had enough interest, we've since sourced the plates and have drilled ventilation holes, as pictured in the attached photo.

Most of the bases that we've shipped out were outfitted with a bottom kerf so you can order a bottom plate after the fact.

Yet another one of our changes that was spurred by suggestions from customers is that we'll be upgrading the feet we put on the bases from felt ones to soft, 50A durometer polyurethane domed feet. The height (same height as standard BH feet) allows for better ventilation and the softness might even help a little bit with vibration dampening.

Past customers: Contact us with your current address if you'd like to get these new feet; they're free! PM or email [email protected].

Hi,

Are the bamboo bases still available?  I am thinking about getting one for my Quickie.  Thanks,

Dave

We haven't seen Bottlehead bases for sale on the Blumenstein website for many months now.

Paul, they aren't in our online store anymore because there were too many options and it was confusing people, but we do still make them on a custom order basis.  Just get in touch with us via email.
