Tim Commerford is currently pulling double duty by touring with his new project Wakrat, which opens for his other project, Prophets of Rage. In spite of doing two soundchecks and two shows per night, Commerford was kind enough to meet with PG’s John Bohlinger to give us a look at his mighty rig.
Tim Commerford has played a lot of different basses over the years, but recently switched back to the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay. Commerford travels with a bevy of stock StingRays that are strung up with Ernie Ball Slinky strings (.50–.105). For Wakrat, all the basses live in a pair of tunings: C#–G#–C#–F# or D#–G#–C#–F.
For Commerford’s clean tone, he uses a 1978 Ampeg Classic SVT running into an Ampeg PR-810H cabinet.

Has tim found that cabinet? Let me know
I'm surpised he doesn't have The Moonlanding was fake sticker on his bass
Old School… deal with it.????????????
Big Baby!????????????
That soundcheck intro goes so hard. Holy crap
I love how he's "just a dude"… he basically has 2 basses, he gets confused about his own tuner and he uses 50 year old amps that he buys of Craigs List… I know he's a mayor geek when it comes to the sound and all… but his attitude is just so honest and pragmatic.
Tim "and I like it" Commerford. Loved this!
I used to love Rage and liked Audioslave when I was younger. I don't really listen to either anymore but Commerford is still one of my favourite bassists. Learnt many of his lines. Like his style.
Tim Commeford…gets his SVT bass rigs in Craigslist…
Anyone else's mind blown to discover he's a regular human who doesn't have a personal assistant who buys a brand new customised SVT via the VIP agent at Ampeg? ????
Three decades later: I still remember the first time I heard the bass intro on Bombtrack.
Tapping over the extra notes . Top notch pro bassist move
imagine selling a bass head on Craigslist and Tim comes to buy it.
Since this video he became uncool by riding a Specialized e-bike
Selected this video to hear what Tom sounds like. I have listened to his music for going on 30 years and never heard his actual voice (his music voice has, ironically made my MTB times faster) So cool! I had to add, his enthusiasm is rare, and everyone in the world could benefit from this kind of enthusiasm. Be that way, or find people like that.
Rage on behalf of the machine. What a joke
Can't tell what the song is in the beginning for first 40 sec or so or they are just doing checks but sounds great.
If anyone knows if its a song let me know the name. Cheers.
why he use towels on the pedal cables in the pedalboard?
Goddamn. I wasn't expecting his other project to sound like braindead, meth addicted, tent living, actual fascist calling anyone that disagrees a fascist for not being an actual fascist…
That natural finish with the black hardware is so sick! I want to get one for my next stingray!
SOooo…what was his pedalboard? Pre amp, Compressor… what else?
Great player great bloke
"The best heads you can get"
You said it man!
the thing about the amp head room explains his lively passive bass sound
Always fun to hear someone geeking out out on his favourite thing. So inspiring and enthusiastic. That´s the spark in everyones Heart which ignites at different Things. A colourfull World with interesting People. If anyone reads this who is frustrated about his Life. Listen to your Heart and do the things you love. Love yourself and treat yourself with Kindness. Forgive yourself for Mistakes you did in the past. Mistakes are important because they show you what is not working for you. God bless you keep fighting.
Found a pr 210 h 8ohm.
“I don’t feel like I’m a big deal” oh Tim you were and still are and inspiration for millions of musicians and bass players! You rock men!
What's the jam at the beginning?
His dirty tones are gritty as f@#k.
????
Interviewer is such a dweeb
He should go by Tim Commieford.
great interview – let him talk. very humble man, his basses are art!
Interesting to hear about feedback as politics and teaching the audience each night about it. I’d like to hear more about that. I think I’ll explore it for my sound.
Hes such a gear dork love that guy
Found a way to make feedback political ????
Terrible sound !
But did he ever get the head
Limousine communist.
Judging by TC's comments concerning war/feedback I doubt he's awake to the ruling clan and their methodology for executing NWO (or as they refer to it, "Tikkun Olam" (dominate, or rule the world) (the literal translation is not it's true meaning, because the ruling clan is all about deception). This leads to one of their mottoes, "By Deception We Make War" another quote from a prominent ruling clan individual further emphasizes the fact they arrange/orchestrate/contrive/perpetuate conflicts, "If my sons did not want war, there would be none." -Gutle Schnapper Rothschild.
What is the name of the song that they play in the beginning of this video?:)
Thank you for sound from live. It's like a mix of redbull and puke. Premier Guitar, please, keep holding high professional level.
from time to time i wonder if he ever found that 210 cab lmaoooo
So the interviewer seems to have no clue what's going on….
Old Ampeg SVT circuit boards were thicker and stronger, newer stuff is poorly built.
Heavy topic that translated to music hardware. That's insane. This is the next level of sound processing. 1st, the tape modeller. 2nd, is now. 3rd, feedback processing. Awesome. ✊????
Dude this is almost therapeutic listening to this. Great chemistry
Hell yeah Tim! You are the man!
Really enjoyed this interview. I never really met a music man guitar I could gel with but this makes me want to try again.
A hero of mine. And not for that reason but possibly one of the best rig rundown interviews I’ve seen
