This is what discreet did with the old badge.

Saw the poster and thread title and expected to be entertained with hi-jinx involving feaces.

Very disappointing

Has anyone notified the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development? Clearly the cab needs to be burnt to protect our forests from the spread of this disease, and some kind of quarantine area set up around chez Discreet. Biohazard suits will be required.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1461148221' post='3031804'] No I'm worried. [/quote]

We're all worried.

Do you think that frayed cloth is gonna affect your recording tone if you don't remove the grille?

I'm a frayed knot.

Ahem.

The new badge does look better
But I'm afraid you have invalidated the warranty!

Ha! You can be sure that if the combo goes tits-up any time soon, the old crappy badge will be back on there before you can say 'Made in China? Nothing wrong with that if the design and quality control are good!'

I am worried that the new badge is too upmarket for what is, after all, a workaday combo.

Holy crap! I didn't think a new Fender badge would generate so much anxiety! At least it's actually on a Fender product! In fact, it's the only genuine USA Fender part on the whole combo! Just think what would have happened if I'd stuck a Phil Jones badge on there instead! Bloody hell!

A disgraceful exhibition of cab nudity, cones, horns and porting. Appalling.

Blame Billy Apple, he made me do it with his words.

[deksawyer]

....and the question most unasked - why did you not put a TKS badge on it?

PS - I was gonna say Barefaced, but I designed that logo years ago and I understand it's not for everyone. I don't mind it, but I'd do it differently now, esp for the more vintage looking cabs. Alex, give me a shout if you want a retro design badge. Same cost as last ones, i.e. nowt.

You should have put a Squier badge on it, squire.

That was really your design? I'm firmly in the 'don't mind it' camp.

Disease free wood can be sourced from the USA

Sure, but is it free range wood? Think of the children!

I don't think Squier do amp badges, do they..?

I personally like the logo very much. Well done, Deek!

Yep!

'Stop Dreaming, Start Playing'. That should be everyone's motto...

Looks like I'm against the tide but I actually prefer the design of the original badge. I certainly won't be rushing out to swap the one on my recently acquired rumble 100. It's just a badge. The plate on my Trace combo is scratched to hell but I'm not replacing that either.

You're quite right of course, my main worry was that the original badge, not being mounted on a backplate, would very easily get damaged in the normal course of gigging. Which of itself is no biggie, as it doesn't affect the operation of the amp in the least. It's an OCD issue more than anything. First World Problem!

I agree that the badge is crap. I have a Rumble 12" cab and my badge has snapped and been superglued back together, it's not a good design!

[KevB]

I'll give you two quid for the one you don't like. You won't have it on your conscience and I'll have a back up when mine snaps off. Win-win

[Billy Apple]

With the extra weight of the badge does the cab now tip forward when you pick it up? This may cause issues on stairs and confined spaces.

But I might need it to re-validate the warranty if my Rumble goes tits-up...

Yes. Yes, it does.
