Experience the thunderous tone and unparalleled playability of this limited-edition bass, designed in collaboration with legendary bassist Tim Commerford.
The Ernie Ball Music Man Tim Commerford Artist Series Passive StingRay Electric Bass is a testament to the enduring partnership between Music Man and the iconic bassist of Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and 7D7D. This limited-edition instrument, restricted to only 50 pieces worldwide, captures the essence of Commerford's powerful and dynamic playing style, offering a unique blend of classic StingRay features and custom appointments.
Ash Body and Roasted Maple Neck — A Foundation of Tone and Stability
Crafted with an ash body, this StingRay bass delivers a balanced tonal foundation with a strong low-end presence and articulate high-end response. The roasted maple neck with an ebony fretboard provides exceptional stability and enhances the instrument's natural sustain. This combination of tonewoods creates a vibrant and responsive playing experience, perfect for Commerford's signature aggressive style.
Passive Electronics with Powerful Neodymium Pickup
This Tim Commerford StingRay is equipped with a powerful neodymium Music Man humbucker, delivering a wide range of tones from warm and punchy to bright and aggressive. The passive electronics provide a pure and uncolored sound, allowing the natural character of the bass to shine through. The 3-position switch offers further tonal versatility, allowing you to select between parallel, single-coil, and series humbucker operation.
Custom Appointments Inspired by Commerford's Playing Style
This limited-edition StingRay features several custom appointments inspired by Tim Commerford's distinctive playing style. The classic string-through-body bridge with adjustable mute pads enhances sustain and allows for precise tonal control. The black hardware adds a touch of understated elegance, while the custom, height-adjustable "finger ramp" thumb rest provides exceptional comfort and support for fingerstyle playing.
