PopTodd Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Apparently, this one went to 88. Still, divisible by 11. Rest in peace, Jim. Thanks for The Sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm more of a Fender/Vox guy but I can't deny the massive influence his amps have had over the past 50 some odd years. A true legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I can't be the only one today who's got these lyrics running through my head: "There's a guitar leaning on a Marshall stack. . . " There was a nice piece on Jim Marshall on the BBC news hour today. I hadn't realized he was British. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 When I moved into my freshman dorm, a dude had a massive Marshall stack along the wall of his tiny dorm room, with a Gibson Flying-V always leaning up against it.He dropped out before years end - but it was fun as hell playing his gear. They only time I played through a Marshall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have never owned a Marshall but there is no denying the huge influence they had on rock music. The tones Hendrix was able to get says it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
