Notes

Tim Commerford is known for using Music Man StingRay basses and Ampeg SVT heads; specific model for 'Freedom' not documented, but Songsterr lists StingRay for the song ([songsterr.com](https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/rage-against-the-machine-freedom-bass-tab-s10118?utm_source=openai))

Difficulty

The bass part in 'Freedom' involves syncopated, driving riffs with a bright, punchy tone, requiring intermediate technique and rhythmic control.
