Re: R.I.P. Jim Marshall
RIP Mr. Marshall!
Like Mr. Polfus, I've never read or heard a bad word said about him! I read his autobiography, too. He really was quite a man.  I wonder if we should lay off the drummer jokes for a while...

Re: R.I.P. Jim Marshall
RIP, Sir,
You put the crunch in Rock and Roll. I too have never heard a bad word about him. He definitely changed the R&R scene. Now go find Leo and Lester.

Re: RIP Jim Marshall
I will say what I think!
RIP, a leader is just that. Although Jim was not an amp builder himself he led and hired the best that could carry out what became the Marshall name. How can anyone deny what became the sound of rock? Sure I'm a "Fender guy" but when designing my own tones I look for overdriven Marshall as my guide. RIP Jim, you left a mark I will never forget!

Re: RIP Jim Marshall
Thanks Jim
I have been a Marshall guy since 1977 and Les Paul's & Marshall's have made most of my favorite music. Now I am going to crank my new Class 5 for some good Marshall growl. RIP JCM. We will miss you.

Re: R.I.P. Jim Marshall
Very sad when I heard this news today. I threw my amp to 11 in tribute! (I have a fender blues deville, goes to 12) But as I was thinking today, two of the greatest names in electric guitar innovation (playing and equipment wise) share the same name.
James Charles Marshall James Marshall Hendrix I bet we'll be able to hear them jam from down here.
