In this September 10, 2016 interview with Premier Guitar, Commerford states:
[PG]: What basses did you use on the record?
[TC]: I recorded Wakrat with Lakland Joe Osborn Signature jazz basses strung with Rotosound Tru Bass black nylon flatwounds—the ones Paul McCartney used. It's a cool sound and I was planning on using that live, but somewhere along the way I got approached by Ernie Ball to play Music Man basses. I love Bernard Edwards and Louis Johnson and I grew up playing StingRay basses, but I hadn't played one in a long time. So Ernie Ball gave me one and it sounded perfect. I love the way it feels. I did make some modifications. I used a Dremel and ramped the pickup screw mounting points down and put a thumb rest on it.
[PG]: Are you using flatwounds live?
[TC]: No. I'm using roundwounds. They're more raw-sounding. It gives the overdrive a little more fur and fills in the blanks a little better. And they stay in tune much better.
