  • Best known for his work in Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and more recently with the Prophets of Rage, bassist Tim Commerford is known for his distinctive sound. And while he's played a multitude of styles over the years, one thing that's remained constant is Ampeg.

    The real reason: he doesn’t have to carry them anymore 😂

    One of my favorites. His parts always mean so much. Never overplays. Perfect example is "Like a Stone".

    Finally getting some more attention. One of the musicians that got me into starting playing bass.

    Rage against the machine Audioslave & the prophets would be NOTHING without this guy. He is SO right about modern tubes. Oldschool Ampegs ROCK and he likes trek mountain bikes.
    He thinks like I do. LEGEND! 🤩

    Morello's solos were so out there, what kept it groovy and so hypnotic was Tim's bass lines.
    He was the backbone of Rage's sound.

    what he said about creating music with others is so true..It is really hard to find the right group of people to gel with, and when you do, it is magic...and you cant go wrong with Ampegs

    I don’t like the band or the style of music whatsoever, but him talking about the “pulse” applies to all music. This is exactly what I want from my bass tone, to feel that pulse and put that pulse into the music I play. It doesn’t matter what style of music, the bass should always be that pulse and Ampeg will get you that everytime!

    I've been touring with an SVT-2 Pro for over 10 years now. Nothing else I've played through compares. I prefer it over the CL heads for sure. You can dial in how hard you want to hit the front end and the power amp independently. You can get it exactly where you like it. It makes the EQ section even more useful. I get a general tone with the CL style knob EQ, then I use the graphic EQ as a footswitchable mid boost. It's really an awesome amp.
    It's also been relatively reliable. Couple blown tubes and a burnt resistor. Was still able to fix it myself with the help of the internet.

    Fender Bassman and a 2-15 cab. Yep, in High School in 1980-83 that was my rig. I hated it. Started compressing and distorting way too early and it could not keep up. Yeah Rush, Yes. Kansas. The Who, Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello were all influences.

    He's always been one of my big playing influences yet I never knew he started off on a G3. Its a bit of a coincidence as I play a Grabber and a homebrew Stingray as my main weaponry through an SVT sim on Amplitube.

    I love the sound of SVT's but they're just so incredibly expensive here in the UK. I just can't justify 50% more expensive than an Orange AD200B

      Came here to the app from the tv so I can comment. …it’s TOTALLY worth it. …Unequivocally. Obviously the dream is to have BOTH. If you saw here or watch a lot of his stuff, he has both. The orange has a better distorted tone but the Ampeg will make you pass kidney stones my boi!

    1991 I purchased an SVT2 non-pro which is better sounding in my opinion. In regards to reliability, not so good. This November 2021 my Stingray will turn 30 years of age.
