Music Man Tim Commerford StingRay Active Bass in 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.

Key Features

Powerful Neodymium Pickup

The StingRay humbucking pickup features powerful neodymium magnets, bringing you more output and a wider range of sounds. A bevelled pickup cover and adjustable finger ramp allow for a more comfortable fingerstyle hand position playing above or adjacent to the pickup.

Adjustable Mute Pads

The classic string-thru bridge is fitted with individual mute pads allowing you to customise the degree of string dampening to suit your tastes.

5-Bolt Sculpted Neck Joint

All Tim Commerford models feature popular vintage appointments with updated modern refinements. Oil and wax maple and roasted maple necks are standard, along with a compensated nut and sculpted 5-bolt neck joint for full access to all 22 stainless steel frets.
