I just got a Rumble 150. First time out I scratched the dickens out of the skin on the side of the cabinet. Anybody have any suggestions for where I can go for some replacement fabric. I understand this is not tolex. thanks, Glenn

Ahhh those battle scars are badges of honor. The Red Badge of Courage.

A few suggestions:

http://www.amazon.com/3M-Company-2X60yd-Gaffer-6910/dp/B000N4LV6A/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1364971643&sr=1-1&keywords=gaffers+tape

http://www.amazon.com/Sharpie-Point-Permanent-Markers-30162PP/dp/B000QYLCWK/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1364971859&sr=1-2&keywords=black+sharpie

Or look in the Yellow Pages under upholstery shops. You can recover the cab in anything you want, but it won't be cheap.

So long as you are looking at recovering it, I like the Fender TEXAS RED they use on this model. I think the Rumbles should also come in this color!

(They also make Sharpies in red, but I've not seen red gaffer's tape.)

When my warranty expires for my Rumble 350 (if I still have it by then, hopefully working,) I'm thinking about covering it in red shag carpet. :P Actually, I've seriously though about that. A tribute, of sorts.

I've seen a website that has a Frontman 212 with a cobalt blue skin. That was cool, too.

Oh and you have a source for red shag carpeting? Plan on touring with Steve Cropper do you?

I actually did look one time, for grins; but it was all area rugs and I didn't look any further than that. They weren't cheap, either.

Yeah, I'll have to learn some Sam and Dave and "Raw Hide." It would be best to get an old, beat up P-Bass, for the full effect. Unfortunately, those cost a hell of a lot more than the shag carpet rugs did.
