If that's not Leo it's a damn good facsimile. Maybe it's done with digital modeling.

Either way, Leo is looking dapper in that shirt he's sporting.
Just an image someone posted in a Facebook group....i have no idea where it originated, but thought it looked cool.
It's not completely inconceivable, but I don't think it likely. Why go to all that trouble, when a simple product placement will do just as well?
Isn't that product placement? At a huge event, it would have to be that big to get any notice.

Love my 200 v3, but never thought of running my guitars through it, since my little Vox amp sounds so sweet. Definitely going to give it a try. Let's see what my neighbors think.
"Looks promising. Mud Stand for Bass Amps
Here's an image from their facebook page featuring a Rumble 200/500 combo. Perfect fit too.
I'm about ready to put one of these together for my R40, I've got all the pieces.
I don't think it would work for the R2-10 cab I'm about to get though...
Interesting. Intuitively it seems like unless the stand is made of something with vibration-dampening qualities it's going to vibrate a lot against the floor anyway, but that's not based on any experience. Supposedly Neil Young insists on putting his Twin Reverb on a stand that goes through a hole drilled through the stage and gets bolted to the concrete floor of the arena. I guess that's one way to keep it from vibrating the stage, although when you're going to have to mic it and play it through a massive PA anyway, I'm not sure I see the point.
The Mud Stand is made of dense foam. It's its own damper.

It is acoustically engineered and structurally ridged. Put your amp on a damper, not a dumper.
Well, well, none other than Premier Guitar says that it is, indeed, Leo Fender in 1973 with a '58 Precision Bass. Good article, too.
It is, but not a simple one. And more than would be needed, as people would be able to see an ordinary Marshall stack just fine. No, this is more likely someone compensating for the size of - well, something else.
Well, brother @Gremson did it! He's goin' mobile! Loaded his Rumble 100 on the back seat of his Honda. Anyone else done this?
It's the Fender Rumble 40/800 hologram patch no.1
Why would anyone want to strap an amp to a lawn mower?My Rumble usually travels in the trunk of my Honda
That, too. I do, however, disagree that people would notice a single stack. You and I would, but most would not.It is, but not a simple one.

I'm sure you're right about that - on the other hand, I'm thinking that a maker of amps wouldn't be targeting most people, but people like you and me (possibly in a younger incarnation).
But at the end of the day all this remains pure speculation on both our parts, and whether we'll ever be able to finally settle the matter is doubtful.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to today's installment of
Fender Rumble Club Trivia!
[cue gameshow musical score]
Today's Fender Rumble Club Trivia question, for one shmillion shmackeroons, is:
"Where can I find out about Rumble history, internal Rumble features, Rumble designers, and many other topics of Rumble interest?"
