my first lap steel built

Hello.
I've been watching this forum, but haven't posted up till now.
I built me a lap steel bass. It's very basic (hence the name). I don't bother too much with the looks, it just had to play and sound well.
At first it had 4 strings, but after playing it some I settled for 3 strings, tuned A-E-F# low to high.
I recorded a clip playing Tears in Heaven, let me know what you think.

That sounds really good considering the simplicity etc. Just goes to show :)
