- Introducing the Tim Commerford Artist Series StingRay bass collection!
Order yours here: musc.mn/TimCommerfordBass
These brand-new limited-edition Ernie Ball Music Man instruments were designed in conjunction with Tim Commerford, the legendary bassist of Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and his newest project, 7D7D. Tim has been a part of the Ernie Ball Music Man family for many years, and this collaboration is the natural evolution of his enduring passion for the StingRay bass. With active and passive options for both short-scale and full-scale, you’re sure to find the right match for your playing style. The passive full-scale and active short-scale models deserve special consideration, as Music Man has never before offered these configurations.
Over the last 30 years, Commerford has perfected his signature sound, playing many passive and active basses. The ability to have both full and short-scale, active and passive basses in one collection gives Tim the tools required to reproduce the sounds made famous throughout his career.

Tim and Brad are incredibly locked in. What a rhythm section.
Brad Is a Beast
Both are great musicians.
Indeed
When I was a kid I thought they were both really cool.
Also Brad wilk on drums on this video Awesome 👏
I was wondering if that was him or not
There is zero question where the heavy comes from on Rage songs.
Hell yeah, Timmy C and Brad Wilk might not be the main focus when someone hears a rage song but there's no doubt without them rage songs wouldn't sound as heavy.
So true. You don’t need to tune down to drop A and record 5 guitars doing the same riff to be heavy. I mean these guys did it as trio of instruments and were heavy as anyone now and then. I wish these “modern metal” artists took bands like Rage and how they did it to heart. Their songs are timeless.
@@michaelsnydermusic Preach. Say it louder so those in the back can hear you. You don't need to have 8 string guitars, play 300 mph - bpm, or be drop tuned to F# (I'm looking to you Dingwall Bass players who play in the metal genre...) to be heavy as all get out. And you are correct: 4 piece squad: 1 vocalist, 1 guitarist, 1 bassist and 1 drummer. They created timeless pieces of music with a message that still has impact today. Not many bands left standing can say that.
PS: This signature bass is LONG overdue. As someone said already...this should have happened 10 years ago.
@@TVK37 thank you! I’ve tried to take their example to my heavier music. I still play in E standard or drop D. It’s the music not the frequency that matters. These “modern” guys can’t write a hook to save their lives. That’s why their music is here and gone and only their hardcore fellow players follow it. It’ll be interesting to see what comes next as Djent is not going to inspire the next generation of players. Luckily, music lasts forever and bands like Rage, Metallica, Sabath, Deftones and all the other originals will be there waiting.
The heavy always comes from the bass in any band
Most underappreciated bassist ever. Tim deserves all the love in the world. So cool to see this. Now if only I wasn’t broke so I could buy one lol.
He has the love of us bassists
Tim will forever be a hero and gigantic influence to me personally and who knows how many other musicians out there. Well deserved!
Your my hero too patrick keep up the good work
@@robertoarreola1566 what's your favorite Patrick Hunter song?
Well said Patrick Hunter
I’m
Affraid all I could afford is the Harley Benton ones you review
One of the ways I learned to play was jamming RATM tracks with my older brother
@@whitt-fitt8028 yes indeed
Ditto
What’s your favourite too play
Mine is
Know your enemy
When Tim & Brad were jamming I was hearing Tom Morello & Zack's parts in my head
Same. :)
@@TVK37 @08:51 : Waaakkeee Uuup!! Waaakkeee Uuup!!!! Waaaakee Up!!!! 🔥
I kept shouting in my head “ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS” while he played Know your enemy
Faaark yeah!
yo' for real those four guys as a unit were just so super dope. They had the magic between them. Same thing with Audioslave but without the same degree of innovation. as RATM. Prolly why you don't hear Chris' parts.
One of the things I really liked about Tim (and Tom) was it made me realize you didn’t have to have your bass or guitar dangling between your knees to look cool playing it.
thore are really as prime as examples get
And less carpal tunnel issues in the long run
Also getting that elbow up, you don’t need to rest your arm on the bass. Once I got used to playing the Tim way it just felt much more comfortable after a long period of playing
Like a freakin' lobster bib, he does it.
so impractical. I was a guitar tech for saving abel for a bit and the bassist offered me his bass to play a cover once. I refused cause I literally couldn't play a bass as low as his haha. we had a lot of fun though!
Godddddddd this is so sick!
5 out of 5 beards LOL
So your contact there is getting a call, huh
Yea, I’ve played fender basses for years. This is the first time I’ve wanted a Stingray.
Tim and brad are the ultimate rythm section.
Chad and Flea?
@@jimmyjames7720 Both are solid, have killer groves and both have or are currently playing Musicman Basses. :)
So are Les & Herb
Justin and Danny
@@TVK37 Flea is playing a Fender Jazz Bass. Sting Ray hasn't been his main bass since the 90's ended and he went to Modulus. He's been with Fender for a while now since then.
It's so awesome to see how locked in he is with his long-time buddy Brad Wilk.
7:00 those whole notes are honestly some of the heaviest bass I’ve ever heard
The tone is crushing
I have never had any guitar sound that can compete with how menacing he makes the stingray sound
Asides his monstrous groove, Tim is goddamn tone master, there’s no one to come even close.
I'm not the biggest RATM fan in the world, but I do believe they are one of the most important bands in music history. Incredible musicianship, incendiary lyrics and awesome fans that made "Killing in the Name Of" a Christmas number one in the UK. Tim Commerford also made me realise that my bass doesn't have to hang around my knees to "look cool" which I'm grateful for now that I'm in my fifties!
Beatles my arse!
I have a whole new appreciation for Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk now. What a fucking powerhouse. I'd love to see Flea and Chad Smith vs Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk in a rhythm section battle.
Really cool just to hear Tim and Brad playing by themselves. Super tight.
This makes me want Rage back so much more now
That tone at 6:41 is BOMB
So cool you got Brad Wilk in to do the drumming. Such a great video.
Finally. This should have been done at least 10 years ago. He is an amazing Bass player with a monster tone. His playing ain't flashy but it immediately makes you start grooving and bobbing your head irrespective of the song genre. And he is the reason I bought a Stingray Bass.
Also one of the primary reasons I keep my "customized" Stingray on-hand. Play it really though only when I need to hear THAT sound . . . ya know, 'dat Stinger sizzle.
I started playing bass and saved up to buy a Stingray because of Tim. This is so sick, I have to have it.
Ive never played one but i hear great things, any idea how the sterlings are?
@@jamied4486 sterlings are really really excellent. fantastic value for money, build quality etc
@@b3ndavies any issues with the electronics or anything? How are the necks on them? I have an ibanez and a spector
@@jamied4486 no issues with electronics at all. Neck is lovely - probably thicker than your ibanez but still a really nice size. Feels super smooth and easy to play
@@jamied4486 only issue I’ve had with mine is that sometimes it clips when I really dig into the strings. Nonetheless, it’s a great bass
He's easily one of the best bassists in Rock.
If you're deaf
@@robertellwood8601 , what you are yet to understand my friend is that being good at bass isn’t always about how many notes you can play, it’s about resourcefulness.
@@absolutechihuahua6997 you won't know I've toured the world in a band though will you
@@robertellwood8601 just stop. We all know your just some goofball that thinks his opinion matters.
@@robertellwood8601 what band?
Kudos to Ernie Ball for providing a backing track to jam with Tim and Brad!
These two arguably have the best grove In rock history.
Tough argument
this guy doesn't get the credit he deserves.
I think he gets a little more than her deserves. he know how to play one style of repetitive line.
@@auto1nfanticid3I got you, but that's just him following Morelo's pentatonics. Listen to things like The Last Remaining Light and Getaway Car, both Audioslave songs. Jazzy stuff.
@@leof2497 his audioslave era was by far the best. The band as a whole were pushed past their previous limits and made some of the best rock albums out there to date
@@leof2497 For real i got the opinion Irving the other way round. Listen to all their songs and every Bass riff. There is so much creativity and groove to discover
@@auto1nfanticid3 He’s a pocket player, don’t need to do all that fancy shit to be dope
I think I’m gonna have to get one for the barn. This is so sick.
I love how he got sweaty from being nervous unscrewing the "fingers plastic thingy"
such an overlooked bassist - he got me into playing bass along with cliff about 5 years ago, i really gotta get a stingray some day
I can safely say all of us watching this vid would gladly pay for an old school hour-long video tape of Tim & Brad playing those early RATM cuts just drums/bass. also, my man Tim makes that stingray look tiny or like a short scale
✅
Tim and Brad are such a powerhouse together
Bass on RATM is sick as hell. Bullet in the head groove blows me away. 😎
Tim and Brad are the heart and soul of RATM.
So glad that Brad Wilk was the one playing with him. Their connection man, superb.
Them guys, the "Backbone" of Rage's music.
Nothing is badder than Timmy C and Brad Wilk. They’re the musical equivalent of a tectonic plate shifting and this bass facilitates that… THIS is how you produce and show off a signature bass. 👌🏼
About time my hero got the recognition he deserves… love Timmy C
One of the most underrated Rhythm sections ever!! Tim and Brad!!
As a fellow MM Stingray player it’s so cool to see and as bass players of the last 20 years dare I say we all “grew up” on Timmy C’s playing. Beautiful instrument!
Absolutely!!!!
Louis Johnson and Bernard Edwards!
@@drury2d8 and Flea. I dare to say he contributed a lot to Stingray's fame throughout the 90's.
To my ears, Tim Commerford is the MVP of the RATM sound.
One of my favorite bassists ever! Always loved his basslines. Also, he looks like a really cool guy. As a drummer, I could imagine jamming with Tim for hours. \m/
Oh yes! My most important lesson from Tim Commerford?
When you're out there, with your bass in hands, make it a statement. Believe in every note you play and make it count. When you do, you may touch somebody's heart. Thank you for this. Hopefully these gorgeous signature basses will make all of their owners happy & even more dedicated to the art of bass!
One of the most influential rock bassists ever. Doesn't get the credit he deserves. RATM changed the landscape of rock and bass
Just listening the 2 of them...blows my mind and i love Rage so much
Been waiting for this bass forever (well, a year or two!) Thrilled to have our Barefaced Machinist parallel fuzz/distortion loud and proud through our Two10S cabs in this video! Such a brilliantly thought out instrument - function AND form!
Tim, Brad Wilk and Tom Morello are one sound, you can't separate them. Amazing bass BTW! Classic and Special together, best of both basses!
Tim is a legend !!! One of the greatest rock bass players of ALL time !
Tim Commerford the legend 🙌 He is such a cool guy & one hell of a badass bassist 🤘
I love how excited he is about this, some great innovations here!
One of the all-time great rhythm sections.
I have always liked Tim, but to see a legendary career musician take a screwdriver to their instrument to show other musicians how to adjust it is rad. It just warms my heart.
Hearing all those RATM songs with only drum and bass is amazing!
never thought this day would come.. congrats for Tim and Musicman crew! definitely WANT that bass
This makes me so fucking pumped to see them next year. God damnit these 2 are unreal. Good on ya Ernie Ball. Well deserved signature bass model.
Your lucky you get to see them
Finally Tim gets a signature model! Yes!!!
About time this dude got a sig. An absolute legend
This bass and bass player are a total inspiration. Killer rhythm section, too!
Tim always had killer bass tone. That drummer was solid too. Killer rhythm section right there.
That's RATM's drummer, Brad Wilk.
Yesssssssssss!!!!!! Timmy C and Brad holding it down and giving us fans content. Thanks so much. Can’t wait for El Paso show
Tim is not ashamed to use distortion and to tinker. Big influence and great bassist. Maybe the Stingray will be my next bass.
One of my all time favorite bass players. Much love and respect.
Both Tim & Brad are gorgeous! 👍👏👏
Aren’t they?! I saw both of these handsome gentlemen a few weeks ago live. Even better looking in person and badass musicians to boot 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite bass players. Such an awesome combo of aggression and groove.
everything about this is amazing!
Great Video, good to see Brad in this too. Tim always took his tone seriously and it shows! Great idea with the ramp/thumbrest on this bass.
this man is one of the most under rated bass players ever he just makes the sweetest basslines ever so unique well deserved man
Seeing and hearing him again is great:)
Such a legendary player
Killer bass player, glad Tim is finally getting his own signature bass. The thing looks and sounds amazing.
The best video of an artist model I’ve ever seen from any instrument manufacturer
Tim is a huge influence on our bassist and on us as a band! So glad to see him finally get his much deserved signature bass. It looks and SOUNDS amazing. Great job Ernie Ball Music Man! 🤟
one of my favorite bass players of all time. one of the biggest reasons i picked up a bass in the first place. might just have to get another sting ray now.
Happy birthday.💯 you rock!!!!
Been playing Stingrays for 25 years. Awesome basses.
So very happy for Tim C. And proud of Ernie Ball for choosing a worthy individual for their artist series.
I remember being in high school and spent one summer really pushing myself to get better at playing bass, and the self titled rage album was one of the things that helped. I learned the whole album, and it really got my finger chops up. I loved the tone he had, and loved the great riffs and basslines. The use of distortion was a huge inspiration, and still is.
Cheers to a great pairing.
Tim's early RATM bass lines are some of the legendary best of all times. I have played a MM stringray for 25 years. Such an iconic bass sound.
That's why I love Tim. Signature Fuzz tone so sick.
Amazing tone that can cut through anything. Rage for the Bass indeed. Great playing fellas.😎🤘😷👍
absolutely yes! 🙌✨
Could listen to Tim and Brad play for days
Nice and Commefordable. Thanks for inspiring
Awesome bass guitar! Timmys always been a favourite player.
This is so good. More Tim and Brad
This bass looks awesome. Will see you some day in my hand + Tim is one of my favorites and one of the best there is.
Finally!! I’m so glad someone has come up with a solution for this age old problem with the stingray. I’ve always been turned off by having the playing position limited because of the single pick up at the bridge. Nice work TimmyC.
Loved seeing Tim and Brad jamming together.
What a bass player and what a guy, Tim is so underrated....
The reason i love stingrays was Bernard Edwards, Louis Johnson, Paul Denman, Flea, and Mark Hoppus. But the guy that makes me wants to pick a 'Ray was Mr. Commerfold himself 🔥
First bass i’ve been excited for in years! 😳
Two legends at work right there
Tim, you inspired me to play the bass when I was a teenager. Thank you.
Couldn’t have clicked on this faster!! Great content, I could listen to Tim play riffs all day
Dude, bass and drums is so f**king AWSOME!
These are really cool additions. Like to hear more about these string mutes.
I think the one cool thing about the string mutes is that with them being used in the bridge...it kills the need to buy a wrap to kill the unwanted noise from bad left hand - right hand muting techniques that some of us bass players have.
Idk why I found this video to be wholesome af. Tim is the man.
Awesome tone
Tim …awesome dude …awesome bassist, in rage and audioslave Sick……
Amazing rhythm section 👌🏼
One of my favorite bass players and slap tone ever ! I wish they would continue making the black active signature bass by the time I could afford one they were sold out… please make more!
Beautiful instrument!
I love this human. Awesome bass, but more importantly, played by a dope dude!
Awesome!
The unmistakable, growly, aggressive, punchy, and cut-through-the-mix tone of the amazing StingRay bass!!! "Wake Up' is an amazing song and Tim's StingRay sits PERFECTLY in the mix!!!!!! THE DRUMMER IS INCREDIBLE TOO!!!
I mean, I agree, but calm down
