Just put these speakers up for sale! Grab em directly from us and save on shipping.

Two barely used Weber Michigan speakers (Mich12F) - 12", 16ohms, 100W. Original listing shows these go for $144 new each - we're asking half that! It's like getting 2 for one.

A part of our Big Crunch family needs help. Amazing bass player, pedal builder, and tech (that worked in our shop for a short time), Rebecca is going through it. If you have the capacity to help, it would mean so much.

If there was ever a day to pick up or drop off gear, it’s today! Our neighbors at Charm City Meadworks have adoptable puppies from Don’t Be a Bully and there’s a dog wash area for the ones you already have. We promise to try and get work done today but it will be difficult!

Happy #IWD2018 to our manager and tech, Shawna! She runs the shop, fixes your gear, and pays the bills. We’re happy to be a #saferspace as trained by #HollabackBmore and want to make sure all women know they are welcome and respected in our shop. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 🎥: @jamesslarson
