I had to do a double take, on first glance, it made me imagine an “only fans” for bass guitars.

I don't know about that Phono, but I would not call that a bass uke being 28.5" scale, even with a piezo pickup. It's the same scale as the Ibanez miKro. To me a bass uke would be 25" scale or shorter. That Pono looks nice, but if you want a more bass uke, look at the Gold Tone ME 23" or 25" for less money and built very well.

Thank you for your reply, It wasn’t just for Ukuleles I was interested to find out if the Pono had good sound and what it was like to play

Thanks Mike! It’s a product of the Pono ukelele company so I thought you might know something about their build quality.

In the uke world, Pono is known for making very good instruments.
