Last night I woke to the sound of gnawing. I got up to see my large puppy gnawing on my M3.
I would like to know is there any way I can get the material from Fender to repair it, or anything else I can do. The cover material is ripped at the bottom side, I was trying to send a pic, but cant figure out how.

Thanks in advance.

As a last ditch effort... you could cut some material from the back (place where it is not seen as much) and use it to patch the front.

Also... you may remove the back to see if there was any extra material wrapped around to the inside of the amp to patch the front also...

>>Opening the amp may void warranty.<<

Again... these are last option measures. :o
good luck!

A couple of months ago we were trailering our equipment to a gig and something in the trailer gouged out a pretty good chunk along the left side of my amp and along the top. Amazingly enough it hasn't affected the tone of the amp at all!! :mrgreen:

If it's just a rip.... and there's no loss of material.... you can glue it...
Use something like "Barge".

If you need to add material... Mojo-Plasma's suggestion is the way to go so long as there is enough of it.

Pretty sure you can find something very similar to the tolex used at a place like "Home Despot" etc... buy a square foot or so of it... cut to taste... and barge that stuff right dandy on there!

Should do the job :)

Go to parts-express.com they sell a black carbon fiber tolex in 54" width by the yard for a little over 15.00.
