Every day I'm able, I pick up my bass and play and post the first thing that pops into my head; mistakes, clams and poor choices included, no warm up, no plan. I also make all of the basses I play. Please consider supporting this channel by joining as a member for more insights on the bass builds, the gear I use and general whatnot discussion about bass and life.

Hey Mr Paul just so you know I comment hoping to add support to your work. You are always welcome to answer back but I pardon you of any social burden to be polite and proper. (If there is any) lol😁 I find your music soothing, healing and a great space for meditation and contemplation. Great sounding ax and chops. This composition had me in a dreamy feeling like it was a French world music piece. Very nice. I am aiming to share your channel and music with a good friend of mine, but I didnt send the links yet. Leisure me maybe tonight. I bet he would really enjoy it and could use it for the healing properties after mr.Phil Lesh passed this pass week and he a big fan. My condolences to you also I could see you having respect in the least. One understanding I have been informed of about the man he was an eager and tireless student of the bass, I am kind of imagining the same of you thinking of what I experienced so far. Peace bro and a beautiful piece.❤

@mymorningimprovpaulcrowwil2195
@@un-dos-tres-mambo Iike to try to keep this channel simple and just the improvs...and free. But when YT monetized me a while back I asked all the subscribers what they'd like to see if I were to do that whole membership thing and what you have asked for was the general consensus. So there is a membership thingy on this channel and in that I chit chat and talk about the basses and how I built them. The first few are in the form of posts and pics as I wasn't taping for posterity at the time I did the builds, they predated this channel. I have now started taping and sharing all of my builds over there. I must admit I have stalled out on my latest, an 8 string fretless, and fell off posting in the members section out of guilt. I got busy with elk hunting, breaking and retrieving my truck off a mountain while elk hunting, and playing lots of shows. But now I realize I should have been posting that. I'm new to this whole thing really and still haven't accepted that anyone would find what I do interesting. But I am trying to be more interactive with content in the members section. And I do plan to put up some archery stuff and walk everyone through my bows, there are lots of em. About 50 years of my life. Like the bass. But that membership section is a monthly pay thing. Which is weird and kinda embarrassing to me. So I have made it as cheap as YT would let me. I'm in the road again this week though so probably no updates over there for a bit.

@mymorningimprovpaulcrowwil2195
@@un-dos-tres-mambo I appreciate it and the suggestions. Like I said this entire media method is new to me and I'm trying to figure out how to navigate it and be relevant in some way. My intention with the vids and the channel was to show what can be done with very little; very little glitz and glam and hype, very little equipment, very little preparation (all complete improvisations). The hope being to motivate people to also share without feeling the pressure to wait until whatever they had was "perfect" or maybe even competitive with comparable content. Just get it out and have fun. Building my own basses just sort of happened, because I'm poor and I have very specific tones I am pursuing. That trip is not difficult so I hope maybe to also get others to do it.
@mymorningimprovpaulcrowwil2195
@@un-dos-tres-mambo I don't make my bows. I am not quite that skilled. I make all of my arrows, usually out of chundoo or douglas fir..and I cut all of my fletching. 13 of my bows are modern era customs made for me by my friend Warrick Harvey of Harvey Archery. The rest are vintage that I have accumulated since childhood; Bears, Ben Piersons, Black Widows, Brownings, Shakespeares, a few others. I use them to hunt elk, mule deer, antelope, turkey etc. Traditional archery is the only way I have hunted since I was a kid.

The three pieces that have been sticking out to me are : burn baby burn spinning docehedren (Ihope I spelled that right) and I think not that again which had a happy feet kind of feel come to think of it the first 2 songs were really good too. Thanks man I really need and needed the extra energy you and your music has given me. Inspirational I tell ya. HEAVY CLUTCH - reminds me of the older spring clutch. I remember I didn't have experience driving stick back in the day but had multiple motorcycles and experience, I was right out of high school working for a roofer and I was the only one outside the foreman who had a license, all the men on the crew were amazed at how natural I was driving that stake body Ford at red lights on steep hills too, they didn't let me drive until they had to their fears subsided as quickly as mine.
