Less is more. [*][b]Keep it simple:[/b] bass-only tracks are preferred, but accompanying drums and basic instrumentation are also fine and dandy. [*][b]Do as thou wilt![/b] Play whatever the heck you like: an original riff or lick; something from your band’s own repertoire; or a well-known piece you’re currently practicing. [/list] Upload your recording to [url="https://soundcloud.com"]SoundCloud[/url], [url="https://www.youtube.com"]YouTube[/url] or another music-sharing platform of your choice. Once you’re finished, post the link to your recording in this thread. Job done!

Dad3353 Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Here we go, to get us all started (or kill it off, stone dead..! ) . This is my contribution, using our Cort 5-string bass. One take, no treatment whatsoever; active mode, almost wide open, played to a 'click' at 60 bpm. I'd forgotten just how bloomin' heavy that 'boat anchor' is..! Thanks for listening, if you have; if you're about to, enjoy. :-) [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/bc-nood-2017-04-1-1"]April Noodle, Cort Active Fiver ...[/url] Come along now, all of you; don't let a [i]drummer [/i]be the only one here..!

Dad3353 Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Good stuff, lad. Yes, that's what I do, too; cut it off when it starts to get out of control..! Quote
timhiggins Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Ha 😃 indeed...funny thing is I like the out of control bits but free jazz doesn't seem to be anyone else's cup of tea ! Quote

CamdenRob Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) With today being a nice summers day and finding myself a couple of beers to the good, I've written a little tune to celebrate the reopening of the noodle bar [media]http://youtu.be/0ZKEF_uZTRs[/media] In keeping with the spirit of things I didn't bother ironing out the mistakes... which with hindsight perhaps I should have done As a side note... I appear to have got considerably fatter since my last youtube dalliance... Anyway I hope the noodle bar flourishes under its new guise I think it's a great forum for airing whatever you feel like. Lets see / hear what you're all working on at the moment Edited April 9, 2017 by CamdenRob Quote

[/quote] There [i]are [/i]no mistakes in Noodles..! Fine stuff, and a very pleasant tune. A suitably sunny tone; it will be useful to play it again next winter, as a reminder of this early spring warmth. Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 I hear "Hey there Georgie girl" in the first line of CamdenRob's ditty. Makes me think of summer, so, job done! Quote

Twincam Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Ok well here is my rather simple noodle. Recorded very quickly and not played the best I could. This is actually A longer version of a noodle I put up last year. Actually I made this up a few years ago for a girl I was seeing at the time. http://youtu.be/5JgJi-O-TiA Edited April 12, 2017 by Twincam Quote
