Twincam Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I think this is the first month I don't have a noodle in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Shock horror the noodle has drums in!!! Lol Great tone if I may say so. I was listening too it and thinking p bass, please let that be a p bass. And clicking back here you indeed state it is. Unmistakable a true classic tone. And ive already heard the mix and really liked it! Again as last month its cool to here a separate bass line for the noodle bar and an example of it in the mix. Maybe just maybe we could get a few more cross entries from the composition challenge. I certainly enjoyed last months composition entry by moonbassalpha and his isolated line in the noodle bar. The definition of noodle doesn't have to be an off the bat performance per say. Isolated bass is welcome from an composed piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agwin Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Not sure this is the right place for this – if it’s decreed from on high that it should be elsewhere so be it – but I thought it was (tenuously) relevant here. Last month fellow noodler, Twincam, suggested it might be interesting to see a video of me playing “Octonoodle” Well I’ve finally taken my phone from my pocket so here’s a slightly extended version: https://youtu.be/stgZZO3NBto Obviously this is not this month’s entry – I’m still waiting on my muse for that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Like the video! Sounds good too. [quote name='Agwin' timestamp='1479896268' post='3180053'] Obviously this is not this month’s entry – I’m still waiting on my muse for that one [/quote] No rush on that, especially as I'm currently set to win by default.

Agwin Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1479909385' post='3180198'] Like the video! Sounds good too. [/quote] Glad you liked the vid. Sound wise it’s just my Samsung Galaxy 3 plonked directly in front of my Ashdown EVOIII head sitting on top of my Ashdown 2X10 Compact cab.

Probably with terrible recording too lol. So I doubt I will be in line for a win. Must get it recorded in the next few days. Where are the other entries? Normally we have a few by now. Come on people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agwin Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I can't leave Skol languishing here alone any longer. 78 Precision with rounds into Audacity then compressed & normalised. Might just play this to the rest of the band and see if it goes anywhere. https://soundcloud.com/agwin/ags-idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asambique Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Been a pretty busy month for me so far, day off on wednesday mind. Might just pop one in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Was messing around with the overdrive on my gf's fender rumble v3 I liked it only at higher gain really. Could of done with having a blend as well as level etc to make it useable at lower settings. https://soundcloud.com/user-531446910/noodle-overdrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 So what's the script? you can use drum tracks and FX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Fx yes!. Drum beats and certain click tracks to bend the rules no lol although on occasion I don't see why some rule bending shouldn't be allowed to let slide. Loopers are the devil here haha. The original concept is to keep it as simple as possible. Which levels the field so to say and that anyone can join in without feeling They need a certain amount of gear. Its a shame its not caught on more. I really wanted people to engage and because of the simplicity any one with a bass, amp, phone etc can join in no matter what there noodle ability. And it doesn't take much time up. There's been some great noodles over the months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timhiggins Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 It was Wayne Shorters 'Footprints' that i was taking liberty's with rather than the Beatles who may well have 'borrowed' from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
