E9 with 10th string octave lower?

Drew Howard · From: 48854

I was curious about replacing the 10th string B with a string an octave lower.

Anyone ever do this?

My first thought is that it would be useful only as a root, that is to say with Es lowered or in the A/F position. It would likely be less effective as the more common 5th (pedals up) or 3rd (A/B), so I doubt it would be a good trade.

That's what I have on the 12th string of my U-12.

I've never done that with a pedal steel but when I played a T-8 Fender Stringmaster, I put bass strings on the bottom 4 strings on one neck. We didn't have a bass player in the group and one neck on a Stringmaster was set up to do that.
