Matthew Wong (born January 12, 1973, in Hilo, Hawaii) is a bass guitarist and was one of the founding members of the California-based ska punk band, Reel Big Fish.[1] He left Reel Big Fish on June 26, 2007.[2]
Wong plays a candy red Music Man Sting Ray five bass guitar with a trademark black pickguard with a piezo pickup.
Appearing on most Reel Big Fish music videos, his absence from "Don't Start A Band" was because he could not attend filming because he was at his grandfather's funeral in Hawaii.
His younger sister appears on the cover of the band's first album, Everything Sucks, with a dog's snout in her mouth.
In June 2007, Wong decided to leave the band in favor of fatherhood and his family. His last performance was during the 2007 Europe Tour; however, his last appearance with the band was at the August 1 show in Orange County during the Shout It Out Loud Tour to give good wishes to his bandmates and fans. He was replaced by Derek Gibbs.
Wong played the MMORPG City of Heroes, with the trombone player Dan Regan.
He currently[when?] resides in Westminster, California.
