Haven't been lurking around the Rumble club for some time, so I'm not sure if this has been brought up.
I was out today and saw a Blonde tolex, brown grill cloth Rumble 200 v3. When did this start happening?

A nice contrast. For most of us, I think it would end up looking quite dirty and scuffed after a short time.
I would've jumped all over it if they made the 500 in the blonde. I'm still pondering switching out the silver cloth on mine. I know it says Fender all over it, but... It does match my silverface twin reverb, I suppose.
Looks great - but I can tell you form experience that blonde and light brown tolex shows every little mark, scuff, ding and gouge super fast and REAL easy - and you can spot them form a distance. It also gets dirty quick and isn't the easiest to clean. I'll stick with the black.
Interesting ... GC is showing a pre order on soon to arrive Stealth Gray Rumble 500 combos and they also still have some Stealth & Black Rumble 100's and 25's. Oddly enough they are showing a used Blonde Rumble 200. I wonder if these were a special run for Long & McQuade in Canada?
Not GC. It was at a small local music store.Ohhhhhhh! drool Is it at Guitar Center?
There are 5 of them on Reverb
Edit: 5 listings on Reverb but 3 of them are from the same dealer, and 1 of the others is just the pic of the blonde 200, but if you click on it it shows the standard black and silver Rumble 200

I want a blonde & oxblood Rumble 40. Do I need another amp of any kind? No, but I do want one.
Been off talkbass a while. Busy with gigs and other stuff.
My.new (to me)/epiphone classic pro neck through Thunderbird with USA Gibson pickups.
Rumble 200 combo+112, no buttons pushed, gain noon, bass noon low mids 1, high mids 2 treble 2 master noon overdrive 9 level noon (when I kick in grit, full dirt is from boss ODB-3, chorus is boss ce-2b. Really barks when pedal and foot switch are kicked in at same time)

Sweet-looking bass!
You don't see many people playing country on a T-bird like that!
I have a soft spot for T-birds, especially non-sunburst finished ones. Back in the bad old days, I had an Epi T-bird. Took the pick guard off, which really looked bad-ass, as the kids say...
Rock on!
