Q: Do you record with that 3/4 sized bass?

Also my favorite line from 2022 is now the place is on fire. Makes me want to strap on a power glove and take on the world.

A: Trying to remember if any of the songs were recorded with the music man short scale hm… Some songs were definitely recorded with my other short scale bass however (squier bronco)!

That one, with flat wounds, is on dawning of the season and domino

"When we perform live, all of the synth/keyboard sounds are actually just sampler instruments in ableton! The keyboard is used just as a midi controller. Favorite live gear is probably the short-scale music man sterling bass. Sounds great and is super light/easy to play

We actually only own one analog synth and it’s the prophet rev2, which we love but definitely not loyal to any brands, we gotta try a few more synths first"

"Oh and I use waves CLA bass on pretty much all my bass tracks, it just something nice to it, even when all of the levels are set flat!"

The Fender logo is visible at 2:05 and, while Matt's hand is often resting around the bridge humbucker, it can still be seen throughout the video several times.

During his performance with Magdalena Bay at Lollapalooza 2023, Matthew Lewin is seen using a Fender Player Plus Meteora HH (Belair Blue) throughout the entire set. Clear views of the guitar are captured in this YouTube clip from the event, particularly during his solo in Dreamcatching at the 3:20 mark, where the camera focuses on the guitar's body and pickups. This performance provides definitive proof of his use of this specific instrument.
