Basschat Noodle Bar

Nice noodling guys!

I'm being lazy... but here's a quick excerpt from something I'm working on. It's a very simple bassline - I'm sort of going through a "less is more phase" with my playing. But it might just be that "less is less" ;)

Drum track and strings included for context. Jazz bass with rounds:

I'll try to do a video next time.

Haha! Cheers Doug. You think that sounds 80s? That's funny... the intention was to capture something more 70s sounding. Maybe you were on the mushrooms during that decade and missed out on it :lol:

Sounds odd but the bass kinda reminds me of Interpols Evil.

I like that alot! Liking the name too. However is that the floor cracking and creaking along
operated by your foot? As that is deemed use of a unregulated effect ;) haha!

He controls the decay of the notes very differently, far more staccato.

Bruce Thomas? Indeed. Its amazing how different it sounds in the mix too. I love the gritty tone he gets. Sounds like he plays a fairly low action or has a robust striking technique.
Probably one of my fav under the radar bassists.

I really like that - not taking anything away from the bassline but those orchestral strings are lovely - how? Please don't say 'an orchestra' :)

I was sat the other day and just needed to jot something down before it vapourised. I have a Novation Circuit (£250 groovebox type-thing) for this purpose and decided I'd just put a simple groove down in 10 mins, bit of a rush but figured I'd stick it down and see how the bassline went by doing a couple of mins recordin. Changed the line a bit during the take (on purpose to see what fit best) but all in one go, no processing, recorded in Ableton. Hit play on the Circuit and played bass at the same time. And no, I couldn't settle on a lead line either - played that straight in afterwards in one go and on the Circuit's pads.

Mexican Jazz, rounds that are going off, that's about it. Please don't kill me....

OK so very short noodle whilst waiting for dinner last night, think I'll build this idea and share with more videos as it develops (unless someone pays the ransom ....and I'll stop) 😁
Recorded with my phone sat in top of my practice and...hi tech..i know.

I like that! Sounds almost foreign, inspired from a far flung land. Or just out of your hunger haha.

I have some noodles I need to record.

I was hungry, & I picked up the bass to distract myself...so the idea did develop, but all you could hear is my other half coming in & out of the kitchen chatting about something or another, hence the short recording. TBH I'm now more worried that I've agreed to something when I wasn't paying attention...again 🙄
