[edit] bass descriptions

Put some variety in the bass descriptions, sheesh.

[edit] Twin-necked bass

A double-necked Fender Jazz bass? Hmm, sounds interesting. Somebody should find a picture! - Ndrly 22:55, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

EDIT - Who ever put that is only partially correct, he does own a one of a kind twin necked bass made in the Fender Custom Shop, and I believe that there is a picture of it in the newest Audioslave CD. But whoever put it has 51' P-Bass necks is a dumbass, 51' P-Bass headstocks are small, and do not look like the modern fender bass necks. More than likely they meant 57' P-Bass necks as this was when the current headstock came into production. ALSO - Tim basses usually have maple fretboards, not rosewood, although he does own a black j-bass with a left-handed p-bass neck w/rosewood. ALSO - The person who wrote most of Tim's Bass descriptions doesn't know the difference between a fret and an inlay, and not all of Tim's basses were re-fitted with P-Bass necks. - RedHotRageSlave 17:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I deleted the comment about the Rickenbacker Bass neck. It said "the color and type of neck on this bass is unknown..". Rickenbackers don't have bolt-on necks, i.e. the bass he used would have to have a stock Rickenbacker neck.

Also: this article needs a lot of grammatical clean-up. - User: Bm5481

[edit] Vegan?

Is Tim a vegan? I've never heard anything of it, but this suggests he is. ~Switch ^{t c g} 10:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I've tagged the Career section for a complete rewrite, because at the moment the only time he is specifically mentioned in the section about RATM and Audioslave is a vague reference to the incident at the 2000 VMA's, which should be expanded to explain what the incident actually was. --Richmeister_talk 19:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tattoos

Why is there a paragraph devoted to Commerford's tattoos in the lead, of all places? I'm going to move that paragraph to the section on his personal life. Huntthetroll (talk) 03:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
