Just heard now! Imagine the party that awaits him!!

RIP

Sad news indeed for a man who's had such an impact on every rocker out there. I remember going to an Yngwie Malmsteen gig and he randomly brought Jim out at the end after singing the praises of his wonderful amps

Lovely bloke, met him years ago when I was a young rocker, back then we used to have a Marshall poster in our rehearsal room signed by Jim
And I still to this day think the Marshall 412 bass cab I had was the best I've ever owned. He's a Legend .. RIP x

Just simply Thanks Jim

The body may be gone, but the spirit and legend will live on.

Yes, the article length was much longer than usual for the news. Respect.

Sort of sad but 88's not bad going. I too met him at a show and was impressed to meet a legend.

What did we bass players think of marshalls?

We're not big users today? (family fortunes question - we asked a hundred bass players what amp they used. Bet Marshalll not in top 5.) Still some bass players must use them as their signature sound... Can only think of Chris Squire at the mo'.

Any more for any more?

Apart from me, there's always Lemmy!

Not sure this is the right thread for this, though there are three on the go. Maybe start a separate thread on the question?

I was not happy with the BBC's "tribute" to Jim Marshall on the [i]Today[/i] programme. They interviewed a bloke who not only had never met him, but whose only experience of Marshall amplification was standing on stage next to other people who were using it.
