Yeah, there's that. With all of the talks about tariffs with China and all of that, who knows how that's going to effect everything?


I can't say I know where the Rumble 800 head is being manufactured, but my SB head is manufactured in Mexico. It's a fine well made Fender head. And you know I have nothing but positives about my two Mexican Fender basses. Maybe there was something in the air Fender sniffed, or knew about to switch to a closer manufacturing facility. If for no other reason, it's a lot closer than half the way around the world.

The Rumble 800 is probably either made in China, or Indonesia. I guess they make all of the tube stuff in Mexico, don't they? I suppose it doesn't matter, as long as it does what it's supposed to.

I guess the Rumble 800 is made in Asia. I think all the Bassman heads are MIM.

I guess they may make more of the Rumble heads, then the Bassman heads. I don't think they would change over to MIM for the Rumbles.

I suppose they might charge more for them if they did make them in Mexico, like the amps they do now. Was the Bassman 500 MIM, as well?

I think the Bassman 800, and 500 are MIM.

I think you're right about that.

On the SB, inside of the back panel, it says, MIM. Not on the actual back panel itself.

That's interesting. You took the amp apart?

Yeah,.......... now I can't get it back together again. NOT!!! No, you can see it through the steel mesh on that part of the rear panel.

Oh, OK. Kind of strange they did it like that, you think?

Yeah,....... I don't quite understand it either, but there must be a reason for them to partially conceal it like that.
It's located just to the right of the fan, and above the Auto Bias System control panel.

Normally, they'd just print it on the back, usually in the center.

It's almost like they're wanting to hide it. Oh well. It went back this morning to get back the V-4B I previously had.
