Before I delve into 20 minutes of rig talk (although it does sound quite a good way to spend the evening) does he talk about his Barefaced setup? I'm interested to hear why he made the switch from Ampeg.

[Kev]

Bugger it, watching it anyway. That's quite a collection of Stingrays!!

Also quite interested in his pedalboard and how much of the drive he gets from his old Ampeg heads.

[Romeo2]

nope, not a word re Barefaced, sorry Kev but he does talk about why/how he got back into stingray after years of Fender and then Lakland

Was it anything to do with 'Free Stuff'?

Thanks for posting this, I'm a big fan of Tim's work. He may not be Jaco, but I love the way he holds the low end and keeps it phat and phunky.

[lowhand_mike]

nice, just had a listen to his new band Wakrat which is pretty cool too

Thanks for posting. Good watch that. Big fan of Tim as a player and his various projects. That blonde Ray with black hardware is rather lovely also 😏

Nice to see a bass-only Rig Rundown from the guys at Premier Geektard.

Tim seems such a chill guy and he knows his gear. I remember his double wah pedal during RATM that he customized with a plate on top to control them both at the same time.

Yup, very nice to see a bass only rundown.
Timmy C is one of my all time bass heroes, and I'n chuffed to see him back on Musicman basses, his tone on the early RATM stuff is just the best!
I love his tone now too, very very different though.

Made all the other Tims out there almost cool

I do know one other Tim who is properly cool too, although he's called Timmy D.
I see a pattern...

[tertiumquid]

Timmy Mallet is pretty cool...

[njr911]

TIMMEH! from South Park is pretty cool

[bartelby]

and this guy!

[bubinga5]

How cool a guy is Tim Commerford. One guy I would love to have a conversation about bass etc.

[EBS_freak]

Ah yes, there's Tim C rarely using his in-ears.

Great player, great tone. Rage were revolutionary but Prophets of Rage are awful.

I agree to some extent, but I'd rather have them doing it than nothing at all, plus they have a pretty strong message behind it all too.

That part is very true.

[eude]

This has also given me some pretty serious unexpected Musicman GAS too.

[njr911]

Great bass in Audioslave too

[jezzaboy]

Loving the natural one with black hardware.
