Matt Lukin's Gear
Matt Lukin is used a 1970s Fender Precision Bass in both Mudhoney and Melvins. Originally a stock Sunburst P Bass with a Maple Fretboard, then the Pickguard was painted White and Red. When he was thrown out of the Melvins and joined Mudhoney, the P Bass returned was painted Sonic Blue to match Mark Arm and Steve Turners Guitar and was given a Black Pickguard and later a Middle Finger sticker was put on. In 2015 at the Sonic’s Show at Easy Street the P Bass Returned now back in a Sunburst finished, but with the black pickguard.
Matt used Thunderbirds quite a bit with Mudhoney. You can see it at 1:27 in the video I added.
In the video for "Suck You Dry" by Mudhoney, Matt Lukin can be seen using Rotosound RS66LD Swing Bass 45-105 strings, identifiable by the distinctive red silk at the string ends, as captured in footage provided by Warner Records Vault.
From 1985 to 1987, bassist Matt Lukin used a 1970s Music Man Stingray bass, which was notably covered with stickers. The instrument was used during his time with the Melvins but not in Mudhoney.
Matt Lukin used an Acoustic Control Corporation 270 Amplifier Head throughout his tenure with the Melvins and during the early years of Mudhoney, as evidenced by an image on Equipboard, the head is behind him in the amp stack.
