chrismuzz Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyGlee Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe start a separate thread on the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musophilr Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) 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.
