    I have reason to believe that an ebay seller I recently purchased from has been giving my name and address out to third parties without my consent. I think this is a breach of GDPR and the Data Protection Act. What are my options?

      GDPR doesn't apply to private individuals.

      Data Protection Act does but I'm not sure what Ebay does to ensure it is observed as ultimately they act as the third party in the transaction and the name and address details must be given to ensure delivery from the seller.

       

      Would say to discuss with Ebay, not sure they can do anything in all honesty

    Version 1. I far prefer string slots rather than holes.

    Hipshot licenced HB6C 1/2 They're not a direct replacement, I had to drill new screw holes and fill the old ones but it was a very worthwhile mod... they're more precise and smoother than the stock ones, and half a pound lighter.

    I think they're slightly brighter, more aggressive. I was hoping they would be, as I use the bass in my ska band and some of the songs are quite in-yer-face.

    The Spector has been extensively modified cosmetically and is wired with coil taps. The Sire has been modified with lightweight tuners and a top-loading bridge. All three are strung with Elixirs -- nickels on the fives and steels on the Q4.

    My 3 main working basses now are: Shuker custom 5-string Spector Q4 4-string Sire V7 5-string Yes of course I have others but these 3 get all the gig action.

    Generally I'm not a massive fan of pointy basses, but there's something about the Explorer shape that I really like. I would love an Aria ZZB.

    This 8-string bridge/tailpiece is a thing of beauty.

    It usually seems to work for us too. Mind you, we do Bruno's live version with all the James Brown snippets in the middle, and Cold Sweat sometimes gets confused looks from some of the younger audience members.

    It works a treat in our set, but then again we are a ska band...

    My favourite story about 10cc is one that Graham Gouldman told to Mo Foster for his book. They were just starting out, and were playing in a crappy social club one night. The MC gets up to introduce them: "Right, well here's a new young band, not my cup of tea quite frankly but anyway... put yer hands together for EYE-OCK!"

    The latest Coke TV ad uses a new version of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want To Make Love To You" recorded by Joséphine de la Baume. It is so bad, it makes me wish I hadn't bothered cleaning my ears out. It's straight in at #2 with a bullet on my 'Things That Make Me Scramble For The TV Mute Button' list (the #1 spot is permanently occupied by the Marc Jacobs 'Daisydaisydaisydaisy' advert).

      I don't know why they do it. I suppose it could be a negative reinforcement thing - I would rant at the telly whenever that Tui ad came on with the feckless, insipid, breathy cod-swing version of Chaka Khan's glorious "Ain't Nobody", but the upshot of my ire is that I will never book a holiday with Tui. Ever. But then it was fairly unlikely I would have done before they pushed my blood pressure up several notches...

    We had two gigs yesterday, a teatime 45 minute slot at a mini-festival in Swindon followed by a 2x1hr gig in Bradford on Avon. The Swindon gig was outstanding for me, for all the wrong reasons… for the first time in nearly 40 years of gigging, I didn’t get to the venue in time. I set off 2 hours before stage time on a journey that should have taken an hour… thanks to a road closure which saw me sat immobile on a dual carriageway for an hour and crawling for the rest, the trip took me 2.5 hours. Luckily one of our guitarists plays bass and deps for me on gig dates I can’t make, he was able to borrow a bass and the show went on. I eventually arrived 3 songs before the end. They sounded great 😄 Thankfully , the later Bradford gig was an absolute belter.

    There's only three things on my GAS list, none of which I'm in a position to do much about at the moment. Wal Mk2/3 fretted 5-string 1965 Fender Jazz, ideally CAR with matching headstock the new Trace Elliot TE-1200 head

    Oh my word. If I was a guitarist I'd be all over this like a rash.
