Hi I'm having trouble identifying this resistor with the color code. It's for a GK backline 600 300w bass head, the schematic calls for two 10 2w resistor ran in parallel. But I can't find it anywhere only the 10 1/2 or 1/2w resistors.

Brown Black Black Black = 10 ohm +/- 20%. I believe that's all you're asking?

    \$\begingroup\$ 20% resistors traditionally didn't have a tolerance band - they would only have the three bands for value. I think that this component is too well cooked to have any faith in the apparent colour code. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 5, 2017 at 4:03

Circuit on the left is using 10 ohm 2W resistor, effectively 5 ohm 4W. Circuit on the right uses 10 ohm 0.5W resistor, effectively 5 ohm 4W.
