Matt Wong
Matt Wong (born
January 12,
1973) is the
bassist and one of the founding members of the
California-based
ska punk band,
Reel Big Fish.
He plays a black
Music Man Sting Ray 5 bass with a trademark white tear-drop pickguard.
Appearing on most RBF music videos, his absence from
Don't Start A Band confused many fans, but as stated on the band's website, he had gone to
India during filming.
His younger sister appears on the cover of the band's first album,
Everything Sucks, with a dog's snout in her mouth.
In an extra feature on the DVD included on
Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album, Matt states that he was the one who came up with "Reel Big Fish". He said it was the most embarrassing thing he'd ever done in the band. They planned to change it when something cooler came along but it never happened.
