Pretty cool and surfy indeed.

Well here is my noodle, think I've ripped of a nirvana line and a black Sabbath one lol. I recorded it first on an Epiphone tbird Classic but it sounds terrible when recorded, it mainly picked up the string noise and very scooped, I have a poorly speaker which made it worse. So recorded it with the Jim fleeting custom with chromes on and it sounded much better, less string noise but also its nordstrand big singles are not as powerful as the Gibson tb+ pickups in the Epiphone.
Going to ask Santa for better recording equipment than the iPad which tbh does a crap job and loves to record string noise and higher frequencies rather than bass lol.

Here is the tbird version for comparison. But it's the above I'm entering not this one https://soundcloud.com/user-531446910/october-noodle-tbird

I started trying to do an entry for the Comp Chall, but this: [url="https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/oct-noodle"]https://soundcloud.c...8525/oct-noodle[/url]
and some drums is all I've got down so far , so at the moment, it's just a noodle...

Excellent noodle. I even went over to the composition thread to have a listen to your main composition. Which I really liked also. Was interesting listening to the isolated bass (noodle first) then how it sounded in the mix.
Great Halloween inspiration.

Thanks for the kind words.
I was keen to see how the new emg pickups sounded in that bass. About the same as the other ones but a bit louder. I guess flats even things out a bit.

Do you ever get an idea for piece of music that sounds great in your head but wouldn’t it be nice if you could actually play it?

That’s this months noodle.

I thought it up at the start of the month but it’s taken a couple of weeks to get my fingers round it.

It’s not a perfect performance of it, but it’s close – and I’m running out of time.

Cort Curbow 4:1 Generic rounds (cheap from Amazon) all strings detuned a semitone from standard.

Into Audacity then compressed and normalized.

Enjoy (or not)

I feel exhausted after listening to that, never mind playing it!
Good job, as usual, Again.

Some good noodles this month everyone. Nice work.
My laptop has broke so i haven't been able to contribute lately.
But in the spirit of things i may make a recording off my phone later today.
Warning though - Sound quality will be awful!!

[Asambique]

Recently picked up a strymon bluesky, had a little mess around before work yesterday with the intention of recording on my day off today but i sliced my bloody finger in work so no bass for me for a couple of days!
Here is the noodle anyway, really enjoying this pedal.

The quality for a phone recording in front of a rumble 15 is good. Had a nice rounded tone.
