Nope, but this would make a very elegant S.E.X. replacement.

We have John Rutter of Harmonic Design works to thank for the beautifully milled walnut. He's also been making those awesome alder bases for us for the past what, 15 or more years?

Ooh that is just lovely, have you ever considered offering a premium line of wood bases?

JR is happy to mill custom bases for Bottlehead amps and has done so for many years. Clark Blumenstein also does bases from bamboo for our products.

I will keep that in mind.  So are you going to spill the beans or tease us some more?
