Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a passive control layout, the Tim Commerford StingRay puts its neodymium humbucker and three-way rotary selector at the center of the instrument. Parallel, single-coil, and series options provide distinct pickup settings, while the push/push volume control engages a gain boost. The ash body, roasted maple neck, and ebony fingerboard are joined by stage-focused details including adjustable bridge mute pads, a finger ramp, and a beveled pickup cover that serves as a thumb rest. It is a direct, control-led StingRay format.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live bass parts needing quick pickup-voicing changes, an instant gain boost, and adjustable string damping.
- Fingerstyle playing that benefits from the pickup cover’s built-in thumb-rest surface.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require an onboard preamp or active EQ controls.
