Of course.Can we see this rig? It sounds about as close to perfection as one can get.
I'm traveling for a couple days, but as soon as I get back, I'll post pictures!

Keep an eye on those staples, though. They can work loose from the cab vibrations and end up in your speakers.
^^^Indeed^^^ Best to avoid staples altogether and use a simple woodglue instead.
I hope Fender never changes the Rumble series speaker it sounds fantastic!! Let me see... some of the amps I’ve owned...ampeg SVT W/9/10 cab 2 SWR REDHEADS..ACOUSTIC w/SWR Triad Cab...GK 750...And a lot more... every time I plugged into a Rumble to try out a bass at the store I was always blown away how good it sounds. Now I have a 200c 115 and completely love it. I also play a lot of ZZ Top and it sounds fantastic as a guitar amp. Pinch harmonics and all. I crank up the drive and also use a good Boss Overdrive and an ELHX HOLY GRAIL! All I can say is Wow. That’s Some Spicy Sound “ Conmigo” ala Billy Gibbons “
Couldn't agree more. Very happy w/ the sound(s) of my 200C. I guess some folks like to "tinker"/ improve(?). That's fine but I liked it in the store, I like it on the gig and I have other uses for the $ a speaker would cost.I hope Fender never changes the Rumble series speaker it sounds fantastic!!

I used craft glue that wouldn't eat the foam.
I hear ya! Foam eating glue is just the worst, and glues that foam like Gorilla Snot. I like Elmer's Carpenter's Glue or the original Titebond wood glue.
This was Elmer's spray craft glue. It lists foam as one of the things it's good for.
(in very fine print)
According to Fedex tracking, it got there last Thursday at 943 am...still waiting to hear back from Fender as to what they`re gonna do..how long does it usually take for them to address issues once they receive the amp? I don`t wanna pester them, but on the other hand, I`m hoping they can remedy the issue so I can maybe use the amp this weekend...

Just waiting for my lesson at the shop and snapped a pic for myself for size reference.
Then I thought there might be some Rumble/Fender fans who would dig this.

So simple, but so beautiful.
That's an unreasonable expectation. If you should get your amp repaired or replaced and returned to you in 7 days time that would be the very best customer service on planet Earth. Hope it happens, but get your backup amp out and ready to go just in case.
Thanks @BBassBassington !
I was telling my wife the coolest thing about this pic is the thing that I own. The bass is mine. The amp and the cab (which are UNDOUBTEDLY cool) belong to the shop...for now...things are in the works...
But with every Fender Rumble comes bragging rights. And we do. Wouldn't it be cool if the folks at Fender kept tabs on us here in these pages and saw an opportunity to be heroes or even superheroes as in this case. We are going to see how long it actually takes here in our little corner of TB. 1488 pages dedicated to one of their best creations in recent days. Leo would be proud, I'm certain. I am actually thinking that anything under 2 weeks getting the amp back would be stellar. I'm betting on Fender. Let's all see just how long it takes.
6 to 8 weeks, at least. I've gone through this. Twice.
I don`t mind if it takes a bit longer, I just didn`t know how long it would be...I`ve never had to deal with a situation like this before...as long as they do the right thing. I`ve had my trusty dusty backup ready to go- it`s a Bassman 400combo with a pair of eminence deltas, sounds great, just very heavy(hey-I`m an old guy..lol)..

Damn. I'd say that's my favorite bass Fender makes right now. Very nice choice! Perfect pair for a 200H and 115 too!
