I second the general tenor of this thread, but I really have to point out that Tim's tone owes as much to doubling Tom Morello's lines as it does his hand-winding all his pickups, running a totally seperate seperate distortion rig, etc. He just fits beautifully with everything else that's going on, and that's what makes him a great musician, if not a virtuoso bass player. It's probably true that Tim can't do what what guys like Geddy Lee do, but if Victor Wooten sat in on a RATM gig, it just wouldn't be the same.
I would, however, buy tickets.
