Was that a… a bass ukulele?

While wearing a “Dungeons&Dragons” t-shirt, no less. If this isn’t peak nerd, it’s wonderfully close to it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 5-string banjo where the 5th string peg wasn’t on the side of the neck at the 4th fret.
My first thought was it’s a miniature acoustic bass with silicon rubber strings. But upon further reading, there are a couple of products which fit that description but one of them calls it a “bass ukulele”, which is odd because it uses a standard bass tuning EADG.
But those fat strings remind me of the Ashbory (formerly Guild Ashbory) bass:

I think this version would really perk up the chase scenes in Deliverance.

I was thinking the same. Super odd.
Really looks more like a Guitar-Banjo where they skipped the 6th string. I guess such a creature could exist.

Not quite a bass ukulele, but pretty close (the tuning is different).

An understandable reaction - if you’re REALLY into that kind of performance, I guess.
