I jus acquired a 112RD-100-EVM with a missing Music Man Logo badge. Anyone have a source for replacement or a spare they want to part with?

Badge
The ONLY place you MIGHT see them is fleabay. I know of no source for new ones. Somebody here was talking about taking a cast and trying to duplicate them in plastic a couple of years ago but honestly, I never heard anymore about it.
Re: Badge
That's what I thought. I actually emailed Music Man customer service regarding the new amps and parts availability and they said very non-comittingly: "Thanks for the interest in Music Man! The new amps aren't available yet. When they are available we may or may not have replacement parts such as logo badges available. "
So - we'll wait and see.
to be honest though ...
If you look at the you tube clips of the amps at MusikMesse, they do not appear to carry their "full livery", insofar as the RD50 112 combo only had the MM logo in the Top left hand corner and not one on the bottom right corner. I bet Marco had Sterling lend him a few old ones (Badges) so that he could get the proto amps to the show?
I don't know of any other product, that you can buy new parts for, before the product is released onto the market. (Ernie Ball doesn't have any spares - NOS badges in their warehouse, although the amp corners and castors are/were available - still these are generic not specific parts .....), so I'm not surprised by the CS comment at this phase of the project ooops sorry, been reading up the last two days on "Project Management" - I'd rather watch paint dry :-)
Gawd, you have to love cust
Gawd, you have to love cust service reps. They are SUCH non-committal people. Of course, they KNOW nothing. The have a script to read from and that's it. Talked to one this morning (nothing related) and she told me basically, " we don't care, wait for what you ordered, it's not OUR fault you ordered something and it takes 10 day to go 126 miles, even though we TOLD you it would be here 5 days ago. WE DON'T CARE. Oh but give us good feed back on our site. Geez, they are all alike.
Badge beware
I wanted an 81 style MM badge for a 1 x 12 cabinet I had built.My RD50 112 sits on top of it effectively making a "mini stack"
I managed to source what I thought was the right badge, but actually I got an Amp Head MM logo which is smaller than the combo logo.
I also sourced one of the smaller plates that sit at the bottom rh corner of the combo (the ones that says RD50112 or RP65 112.
I actually sourced two of the latter and will put it up for grabs on here/and FB MM page.
Small rectangular Badge for Music Man bass Head reads 120B
does anybody have one available?
