RIP Jim Marshall

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.

RIP indeed.

Put on my Marshall Amps 20th Anniversary belt buckle this morning like I do every morning. Will def rock it in his honor today

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.

Died as the same day I got my JCM800 back from the shop. $:-\$

RIP, hope he's getting to yell at Hendrix.

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.)

RAGER · April 05, 2012, 07:18:12 PM

Conrad Sundholm is still with us.

Mr. Foxen · April 05, 2012, 07:39:06 PM

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.

Heh, Hartley Peavey?

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

Instant Dan · April 07, 2012, 12:12:24 PM

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.
