He was the father of the sound of rock as we know it.
Dude was a seriously cool human being too.
And he was a drummer so that makes him double cool!

Welp, skyrocketing Marshall prices on the horizon. How disappointing.

RIP Jim.

Bummer...on their 50th anniversary year no less. I doubt price will climb...maybe in 20 years or so if people start deciding that they were better while he was alive.

I guess acquiring my first Marshall full stack this year  will have even more significance to me.

RIP Jim Marshall - thank you for making the world just a bit louder.

And it will totally be his own fault when Hendrix can't hear him at all.

So who's left, in the life-changing gear genius pool? No more Moog, no more Les Paul, no more Jim Marshall, no more Leo Fender. (Add in your own favourites, Mat Mathias, Dave Reeve, Harry Joyce, etc.)

Conrad Sundholm is still with us.

Mr. Foxen

Greg Burman is still with us, but not looking great. Today I attended the funeral of a piano designer who made a fair few innovations. The piano world will catch up with those innovations in about 150 years.

Didn't Billy Squier create Squier? He's still alive and strokin'!

Randall Smith is still with us too.

Maybe not as influential as Leo, Jim, or Conrad but still legendary in his own right.

Word.  I was gonna pipe up with Randall too, but there's a lot of Mesa hate 'round these parts.
