Music Man Tim Commerford Artist Series StingRay Bass Active Caliper Red
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 active model, finished in Caliper Red, features a powerful neodymium humbucker, 18-volt preamp, and 3-band EQ for aggressive tonal shaping, while the passive version, offered in Fight Night White, delivers raw punch and dynamic feel. Both versions include 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. Now available as part of the full Music Man lineup.
