I needed another amp for smaller spaces where bringing a half stack wouldn't make sense. I've been looking for a silver stripe special 212, but I couldn't pass up this deal. No footswitch unfortunately. Where can I find the user manual for this model? All I can find is the one for the silverstripe

I bought this last year and recently cleaned off the old belts and installed new correct sized belts. B works fine, but A plays much slower and doesn't rewind. Any ideas on what to do?

My friend heard about my bandit being out of commission and said they had a bunch of gear in storage collecting dust, said they had a crate amp I could have. Turns out it was a crate bass amp, and not in working condition. While digging through the shed I found this rough gem. My friend didn't even know it was in there and couldn't remember where it came from.

Anyway, I started cleaning it up and noticed the plug is missing the ground pin. I have a replacement plug, but the last time I tried to replace the plug of some vintage equipment I found asbestos in the cable. So I have two questions: 1. Do these contain asbestos? 2. Does this have a black widow? If replacing the plug isn't worth it I'm thinking of using this as a cab and converting my bandit into a head

During band practice today my bandit lost all bass and there was way more feedback than usual. A chunk of the speaker cone fell off and there's tears in other spots. Pretty sure my carcosa fuzz is what did it. Need something that sounds good for downtuned caveman thrash and super fuzzy doom sludge

The blazer is my bedroom practice amp, musician half stack lives in my garage because it's too heavy and loud for basement/garage shows. The bandit has been plenty loud for the shows my band has played so far, but we're playing an outdoor stage at a bar on saturday so I'm bringing the crate 412. Bandit 512 stack is a fucking beast

From noon - midnight, a ton of great bands from across the area. Bands from Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Kenosha, Harvard, Rockford, even Dixon. I know it's not in rockford, but it's less than an hour away and totally worth the drive
