Power section designed by Bill Hughes, the very same engineer that designed the ampeg SVT. The Fender Rumble is a much improved design. Pre-amp designed by Bruce Zinky. I have heard that he hand built each each and every one himself.
I also believe that Bruce Zinky was the design genius of the much vaunted and highly regarded Fender Studio Bass Amp.This I didn't know.. but more knowledge is awesome!!

Congratulations, @99Z3! That's an awesome rig. Obviously, the precursor to the Super Bassman!
That site contains a lot of misinformation, so I wouldn't trust their dates. FMIC will give you the true story on Tuesday. Then we'll all know for sure.Just found this lil tid bit, but I am not sure that the build years are totally correct, it is my understanding that it is 1995-1997.

From what I have been digging about on with this amp and cabs, that it appears that quite a few of them made it overseas!Have played one of these many times. Beautiful amp. Made any bass sound good.

Did you happen to have the cabs with the amp back then when you used it?
Hey mate, didn't actually own it. A local guitar shop had one which I used to frequent a lot, was there for ages and the only bass amp they had to try effects and basses on. It was always too expensive for my amp budget. Around $3500 AUD.
It had the 410 cabinet.
