The design of the drivers in a sub differ from those used as mid bass drivers. The voice coil is usually bigger which dissipates heat and allows greater power handling. The coil and supension are designed to allow greater excursion and the cone is heavier to reduce flexing and to lower the resonant frequency and extend the bottom end of the frequency range. Collectively these changes mean a 15 in a full range cab is a different beast to a 15 in a sub. What I have considered is buying a small sub for use with the 10" tops. It isn't a problem though: I really do have all the bass I want from the 310's, and no issues to date with power handling.

I became a fan in 1982 after picking up the 12" single of Market Square Heroes in a bargain bin for 50p. It has Grendel on the B-side, which remains one of my all-time favourites. I saw them live in 1984 on the Fugazi tour at the Southend Cliffs Pavilion. Fish took a shine to me (well, I was 15 and pretty) and handed me a glass of coke which he'd been drinking from on the stage. I took a sip and found it was strongly laced with whisky. I kept the empty plastic cup for years with its dessicated whisky/coke residue, until one day my mum cleaned my room while I was out and chucked it out thinking it was rubbish. In the 90s I bought a second hand Aria SB as my first 'serious' bass because Pete Trewavas played one. (Not the exact same model but close enough.)

Nice photo!

@SamIAm - a sad loss. She had enough character to leap off of the pages of this forum, and become a real personality - honest, warm, engaging, funny. And not embarrassed to be in a ukulele band.

Will my bum look big in it though?

Bought some rack ears from Rosie. Everything went as it should 😁 Top BC’er. Thanks again! Cheers Dunc

Amazing - I've been making Rick-type TRCs for years from clear acrylic, & head-scratching over how to add custom logos - usually ending up printed on a bit of paper trapped underneath. Absolutely never thought of this! Chapeau - you are a genius! 😎

Last time i checked, you are only supposed to shim under the very end of neck, not the whole neck pocket!?!?

There is a whole history section at Lego house in the basement. There is a section where you can view the complete catalogue year by year and select the models that you owned. I spent ages there! The room has loads of displays of the vintage sets. I agree that the new models aren’t quite as versatile as the originals, they’re still fun to build!

You mean analyse their use of melody; harmony; tonality; and use of rhythmic devices?
