Excuse me for getting my Hughes mixed up. Bill Hughes is the engineer, and Glenn Hughes is a bass player.

I contacted them and asked if they could make a Rumble v3 200c , they replied all our covers are custom, and that it would be no problem.
Bonus: with the U.S dollar being strong, its a good deal for U.S citizens.
and I've just been informed that it was Bruce Zinky that designed the Rumble Bass with a Bill Hughes power section. Bill was head of Fender R&D at the time.
They are geniuses that changed the market;affordable gear at reasonable prices, sounds good, looks good, and dependable, what a team. Oh and lightweight of course!
That was just for the original 1994 (I think) Fender Custom Shop Rumble Bass. Dave Lewis has been involved in Rumble design from the very beginning in 2003 of the solid state Rumbles. He is now Principal Engineer and is responsible for the sweeping changes of the V3 Rumbles. He and his team also designed Fender's Bassman Pro line. He is also a bass player.
Ha! Found a post describing doing a mod to the Rumbles to split the amp and speaker.
@Linnin you are in the thread.
Fender Rumble v3 40 - First Impressions
Now I need a 500 Rumble head.

Oh yeah I remember that. It's your equipment - do what you want.
Apparently the handle placement is slightly different. I believe the r500c handle is more centered, I remember reading this, in this thread a while back. Maybe someone can chime in that can verify this. Linnin ?
Here is a cover for the Rumble 200. Different builder and different material. I really need to get one also since I haul my 200 quite a bit.

Figured since its Rumble related I'd share with the group what I did today to my front grills. Was tired of looking at the dark black and decided to paint them a nice bright green (my favorite color) and to go along with my green bass. May not be for everyone but I especially liked how the 150 combo on the bottom looks with it
I like green too! Especially British Racing Green.Figured since its Rumble related I'd share with the group what I did today to my front grills.

I'm the Incredible Hulk, and I approve this rig.
It even matches your pick!!!Figured since its Rumble related I'd share with the group what I did today to my front grills.

The MDB covers look good, fit perfect, have nice detailing, and the price is right.
There is one negative: Apparently the owner is a chain smoker. I noticed the smell on my cover when I got my test cover (Rumble 40) but when I got 4 large covers on Friday, it was overwhelming. Absolutely gross smelling. I've had them hanging out on the clothesline for 3 days and the stink is starting to dissipate.
Having been a heavy smoker for over 43 years, I am very sensitive to tobacco and marijuana smoke. Never smoked opium. My MDB covers never smelled like smoke of any kind. The Fabric does indeed have a slight odor that dissipates in time, but nothing obnoxious.
