How To Sound Like…Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine
Tim Commerford is a legendary bass player known for his memorable riffs and unique driving bass tone. In this episode of How To Sound Like, I take you through my process of emulating his aggressive bass tone using nothing but Logic Pro X. No paid plugins, no extras, just fresh out of the box Logic. The preset I create here is available for download on my Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/ampthebassplayer

Which other Tim Commerford song would you like to see me tackle? Something from one of his other projects?
3:55 "massive"
Who's gonna tell him?
I’m thinking mostly jazz bass bridge and put it through a Geddy sandamp and you get close….
Tutto qui?
"At this point I might need to get new strings" ???? I'm there going "Ahhh shit, does he know how fresh Tim's strings sound?". He do.
On a side note, Chris Wolstenholme of Muse is well known to be a massive RATM fan, and he's absolutely notorious for using DR Hi-Beams (incredibly bright) for over half his carrer. Not only that, they're not kidding when they say he has fresh strings on every single bass, every single show. Not just because he can, but because DR Hi-Beams sound absolutely incredible when fresh, but really don't last long. I hate that about them, but they're absolute magic when that bright fresh sound hits a Big Muff, Animato or Woolley Mammoth. Plenty of other styles of music rely on having broken in bass strings…. Muse/RATM absolutely and categorically do not, it's all about fresh strings. Use anything else, and it's just an insane fight to jack the living shit out of what precious little highs there are. Remember that its often better to have too much to work with tonally, as cutting/filtering highs is perfectly possible… adding IN highs to a signal that doesn't have any doesn't work: past a certain point, you literally can't EQ boost what simply isn't there. The sole hope at that point is like… saturation or distortion to create new harmonic content from what's there, but that's usually a last ditch resort in mixing!
im almost posiitive i know more about his tone more than anybody that wasnt actually in the room with him ..
your first part is missing his swr sm900 and magalioth speakers
Can u make tutorial using B1four zoom? Tool, Ratm… Pls.. ????
lol I guess you just gave up?
Is it a joke man ????? ????
I discovered your channel and I'm amazed ❤????! We love RATM but i will request my favorite bass player!
Krist Novocelic of Nirvana! Can you do a Video? ❤ Cheers
Thanks, this helped me out!
Sorry man, to me Is quite far from Tim's tone…
With zoom b4x sound?
Not even close…
Good try! I m sure that you need brand new strings to get his tone.
Timmy C is the Mad Scientist,Tinkerer,Tony Stark of Rock Bass! I have Loved his tone all through the Years whether it be with Rage,Audioslave WAKRAT or Prophets. The Dude is one of the Greats and an Integral part of the Sound of any Band He plays with! TIMMY C!!!
no offence but not only does this not really sound like T.C., it sounds subjectively terrible with the fuzz at the end
I never thought that Tim sounded like he was ever using a pick.
not even remotely close. Sorryyyyyyyy
Where do all these YouTubers get isolated bass tracks?
Patch for Zoom b1 four please ✊????????????
I’m more intrigued by that hair cut. What the fuck is going on up there?
Wait in the picture you were using to show tim, his stingray looks like it has a single coil in the neck position. That’s probably why your tone wasn’t as bright as his, it’s like a Lakland
Definitely in the right area! It’s not as snarl-y as Tim’s to my ears but it’s close! Keep it up!
I think that album was DI only, plus the Sterling by MM bass used in the video is less bright to begin with due to pickups beig wired in series. Just plug in a Stingray with low action and tweak the onboard preamp plus reverb and there it is.
I wonder if they used room mic to pickup his hands
First of all wasn't this album produced at sound city studio. I mean sound city vs plug ins on a laptop, no brainer. And you can hear it's a tone from a speaker driven through an amp, (an SVT) ???? up. Sounds like a 15" when inch isolated, could be wrong tho.
Also new strings, lighter gauge, better pickups and higher attack on the bridge pickup all will brighten this up.
Come on man! How long did you try? 5 minutes?
That was galaxy’s away from his tone.
Just slapping a fuzz in front of the amp makes you loose the low end. Which happened impressively. ????
That video was no help at all.
But you‘re cool so I like it anyway.
we need a new sound like Timmy C with the zoom please!!!
Uhh ? Your tone compared to Tim's isolated bass tracks aren't even in the same ballpark…imho
is it a Joke?
Can you do this Video with the Zoom Bass Pedal? Would be awesome to see how close you can get
Wow, that was a waste of time
When you get Bulls on Parade please let us know. That's the best!
He used pedals. Dod… boss… You could always just go on and sound like yourself man. You know what you like
Tims best tone was the 1996 evil empire jazz tone imo
