Description
The Tim Commerford Artist Series StingRay Bass was developed in close collaboration with legendary bassist Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and 7D7D, combining Ernie Ball Music Man craftsmanship with Tim’s performance-driven design preferences. Built with a resonant ash body, roasted maple neck, and ebony fretboard, this StingRay delivers a bold, balanced tone. The passive model, finished in both FIght Night White and Natural, delivers raw punch and dynamic feel. This bass includes Tim’s custom height-adjustable finger ramp, a string-through-body bridge with red mute pads, and black hardware for a sleek, road-ready look.
