DIY lap steel bass

Jan Oelbrandt · From: Herzele, Belgium

I'm proud to present my first own build, it's a 3-string lap steel bass.
Here's a video of me playing Clapton's Tears in Heaven on it. (without the bridge part, that was kinda hard using a loop machine)

In my youth, I played with a group that didn't have a bass player so I put 4 bass strings on one of the necks on my T-8 Stringmaster and played it like on the video.

Jan,
I think I put it on my A6th neck. So it was tuned E C# A F#, hi to lo.

Thanks guys.
Here's an other song I used it on.
I also played the lead line, on dobro, and the background on C6 pedal steel.
Enjoy
