christ guys. just because someone describes how they've built things up, doesnt mean he's bragging about it. He's just put aload of his own work into it, and although the stuff is simple that he plays (audioslave stuff doesnt tend to be as good in comparison to RATM as far as bass goes) it fits the songs, and if you're a fan of that music, it's good. Not everyone needs to musically masturbate to the point of ambiguous musicianship in order to be a good player O_o i find the tone tends to have a great growly quality to it (shadow on the sun) and his use of effects strikes me as being relatively tasteful when you consider some jass musicians who noodle around with the sound beyond all recognition.
Tim Commerford Audioslave bass tone
I remember reading an interview with bass player Tim Commerford. He spoke (bragged) a lot about how he has put a great deal of effort into developing his sound (building / modding effects pedals, maybe even winding his own pickups, I forget all). He was quite secretive about the details, and quite arrogant. I listened to an Audioslave CD on headphones at B&N, and found the music uninteresting, but couldn't hear the bass too well & still wonder whether his sound measures up to his claims. Since people here have the hearing and systems to tell, is there anything special about his sound?
