I reclothed it. More difficult than I thought to pull grille cloth tight and even... Had I known a place to order black grille for cheap I would have just bought it instead.

Tried the KAISH black vintage barrel knob with set screws (from Amazon). The inner diameter is too big for the D-shaped shaft on Rumble, the knob would easily be tilted. So returned that (free return!) and got Fender skirt knobs instead.

Had my Rumble 500 Combo blacked out:laugh:

Where do you put the HPF pedal? In front of amp or in amp fx loop? If in front of amp, where is it in your pedalboard chain? I’m also thinking about getting one of those Broughton HPF pedals.

Yeah, like you said, a separate board is easier to pair with different amps as needed. I have an extension cab, but rehearsal and such never requires extension. So if I “hard” installed those isolation pads to the combo, what if I need to use extension underneath for a show... Besides, I have...

Since it’s Friday and my boss had a good meeting with VP in the morning, I got to go Happy Hour and left work earlier than usual. Got home, ate dinner, and finished the isolation riser. Materials used are a set of IsoAcoustics Stage 1 isolation pads (4 pcs), and a 3/4” unfinished pine (?) shelf...

Good luck, man~ I've also got Elite P body (same color) back in 2018, and waited for a good Elite J neck with ebony fingerboard. I bought a no name J neck off eBay and set it up for temporary use last year. Saw several P necks on Stratosphere in 2018-2019, but not many J necks. Missed a few...

Hello good looking guys and gals~ Was lured over from Fender Rumble Club:bassist: Fender American Elite Jazz neck and American Elite Precision body. Seymour Duncan SPB-4 Steve Harris P-bass middle and SJB-3B Quarter Pound Jazz bridge pickups. All passive, vol vol tone. Hipshot high mass bridge...

Sounds fun!

Painting seems to be only option now if no black replacement part can be found :banghead: Was also not sure about painting a polished metal surface...

Oh, yeah, the warranty... It is a gamble to modify (evenly only cosmetically) a newly bought product. That's why I thought about buying compatible parts and keeping original parts to swap back if ever needed. I've submitted a question request on Fender website. I'll see how it goes.

G-Dog, can I number up pls ;) Black grill cloth just arrived; will do it over the weekend or next week. Also planned to make an isolation board riser with Isoacoustics Stage 1 set.

First time post here~ First of all, thank ya all for all the amazing information in this very long thread! Which ultimately made me decide to buy Rumble 500 Combo and 210 extension cab~ So I try to "blackout" the 500C with black corners and black grill. Grill is easy swap. But the corners seem...
