That's a trip to your Fender Authorized Service Center for sure. Good thing you're under warranty.

Not under warranty. Bought it used and passed on the extended warranty. I knew this answer was coming.
Yes, you are under warranty. The Fender 5 year warranty is transferable, and your used purchase from Guitar Center gives you an official sales receipt that is the guaranty of said transfer. Even if you didn't save it, you can get another one printed.
Oh, thanks. I didn't know that.
I didn't mention this was the second time this happened. I'm assuming it is a thermal problem as it gets worse over time. I don't turn my amp off during breaks, I just roll the volume on my bass all the way off. Maybe that is a mistake, but I come from the school of thought that turning an electric device on is when it gets its hardest jolt and is most likely to fail.
Yes, that seems to be the issue. Electronics are typically all or none. They either work or they don't.
I like to play here and there throughout the day and often leave my Rumble 200 on all day and sometimes for several days and nights in a row with no ill effects. I leave a bass plugged in and both gain & master volume up about 9-10 o'clock.
I used to do the same thing with my Rumble 75 without any issue. It's 5+ years old.
I turn on my Rumble 350 for soundcheck and leave it on for the duration of the gig or jam until it's time to pack up.

Yeeeup.. get another amp!
Just got one. A nice new Trane. Damn expensive, but really cool.
Which River? So you own a new studio! KUDOS! Rehearsal? Recording? Or Both? And a new music venue?! Wow! I'm going to have to drive down for a visit.
Yeah.. i hear ya, but it won't heat up the music hall at all will it!

Demeries Creek near Savannah. The studio is for rehearsal. However--as soon as I get my home in Stuart, Fl sold I will purchase some good recording equipment to replace the crap I have right now. The music venue I am going to use for house shows done on a secret network temporarily. I am adjacent to the DNR (department of natural Resources) and don't know if I will get noise complaints or not. I will try it for a while and if no complaints I will be more open about it. If you go to Google and check out the Demeries Creek public boat ramp--the dock on the left is mine--the building is partially visible above the dock behind the big oak.
This is the venue--I haven't set it up yet--I just moved in:
Here is where my studio is...It is set up but I haven't taken a pic since I set up:
Just for kicks--looking up at my house from the river and the view back down at dock:
WOW! Just wow! Also just remembered that you are a lawyer, so you know all the ins 'n' outs of that type of business operation. Wishing you the best future in your endeavors. You really know how to

I am stoked. The county has no noise ordnance. They can only legally gig me on "Breach of the Peace." It would have to be in context of "tumultuous" activity. So--if no mosh pits observed not much can be done. However, it is best to have a good relationship with all. If I piss the DNR off they could hassle me about my boats and docks. So, I will try to keep things early hour and go slow.
The DNR Rangers know me and trust me--and I want to keep it that way.
