That is one of the hats I have. I have to amend. I actually have 3. That, the plain black ball cap with the Fender logo, and a Fender Custom Shop ball cap.
Will posts pics tomorrow if required.
That would be input power. In other words, how much power the amp pulls from the electric power source. Two different things.
Yeah, but 310W is an awful lot to make just 100W.
On the other hand, I think my "1000W" Behringer amp says it draws 160W.
Yes, I question the 310W, but it certainly wouldn't be the rated output of the amp. The 160 range is about normal.
You should out the store.
I have had numerous issues with Guitar Center trying to pass off B-stock, used, damaged, etc. merchandise as NIB. I've caught them at what I consider some pretty dirty tricks.
Why do I keep going back? One word: PRICE. I am a cheapskate and I always use whatever promotional coupons or discounts which are available, especially for big-ticket items. (hint: look for 15% on Memorial Day weekend.)
The trick is to examine and try the merchandise before you pay for it. Unpack it in the store, plug it in and test for full functionality, THEN pay for it or sign off on it. See, before you buy it, any problems are THEIR problems. After you buy it, any problems are YOUR problems.
I have a Rumble 75 v2 & a Rumble 100 I was in my local GC for something else when I picked up the R100 and thought it was a display shell
1/2 the weight of the 75
can I have a #?

Ditto my old Rumble v2 350 and my Rumble v3 500.
My back is much happier these days!
But of course you can! Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, @Lefty no more!

Rumble On! 
Do you want to make your Rumble sound even better?
Do what I did...I just purchased a used Tom Clement "Jon" bass (6-string fretless). It is gorgeous but the best thing is that it has a tone that is simply sublime! It has made me fall in love with my Rumble all over again.
I have NO idea why I deserve such a lovely instrument but I surely couldn't let someone else snap it up.
(Did I mention the stunning grain of the solid swamp ash body, fast 1-piece maple neck, and beautiful bloodwood fretboard? Oh, I guess I just did!)
OK, back to your regularly scheduled program. Ruuuuuumble on!

I love my Rumble 75 and was just playing a few moments ago. It's my bedroom amp and lives in the corner where I've built a bass trap. It sits on an Auralex GRAMMA and stays put.
Just why are you a lefty no mo'? I've played lefty since 1976.
