Very nice Rob. Puts me in mind of 60s soundtrack type vibe. Nice playing too!

Sorry I missed this comment...

Thanks for giving it a listen :)

I'm tempted to do it again at a less frantic tempo but have decided that a noodle is a noodle and as it is it shall forever be... or something.

Sounds like bouncy skate punk to me... Missed your calling in the 90s with riffs like that, you'd have had kerrang Tv on the phone...

Nice groove though and you didn't even need the additional 3 seconds really as they are silent... Unless that's a deliberate dramatic pause, in which case I apologise.

Yea, I seem to knock out skate punk riffs most of the time. Glad you liked the groove though ;p

I think the 3 seconds were while I was reaching for the recorder to turn it off!

Any last minute noodles?

I'm planning on quickly recording something tonight!

More funky shiz from me this month, most likely. I've also been trying to learn [i]Teen Town[/i], but I'm not up to speed with it yet.

Phew... noodled!

Cort Rithimic V bass [i](which I'm really loving)[/i], recorded using a Real Tone cable direct into my laptop using Audacity. The cable is in fact anything but 'Real Tone'... it's pretty crappy and intended for use with the Rocksmith video game, which incidentally is a lot of fun. But it enabled me to noodle this from my sofa after putting the kids to bed and finishing some paperwork. So that's cool.

I'm now off for some Zzzz's, so I'll post up the voting thread in the morning.

Cheers all :drinks:

Excellent, a couple of last minute noodles... :)

It really sticks out to me listening, not just to these two, but all the noodles how much expression you can put into playing the bass... It's really noticeable with isolated tracks like this, how different people mute between the notes, play passing notes, grace notes, vary their attack etc. Asides from note choice, playing in time, hitting the groove etc... I really enjoy hearing the little subtle nuances different players use that can make a good bassline sound great :) I doubt any of us even think about it, it's just the natural variation in our playing styles that makes us sound different as bass players...

Absolutely! Good call Rob.

Makes me feel a bit 'naked' just posting up an isolated bass track... but it's also a very useful exercise. I get to hear all of the things I need to improve, laid bare. I also get to hear other people's nuances in a similarly stark light, which gives me ideas for experimenting with different tones and 'voices' by adjusting my own playing. All good.

They also make for enjoyable listening! I know we always tend to knock the bass as "not being a solo instrument", but it [i]can[/i] hold attention under the right circumstances. And certainly in the confines of 60 seconds... ;)
