R.I.P. JIM MARSHALL - Marshall Amps

Today is a sad day in the music industry, Jim Marshall the founder of Marshall Amplification since 1962 has passed away at the age of 88. He is legend in creating the "SOUND OF ROCK". Rock in Peace Mr. Jim Marshall. I am stoked to have met him and many times talking with him at the NAMM shows in LA, CA.

Thanks Jack....That guitar is a Charvel/Jackson with a Jackson PU in it...I still have it stashed away. I think I bought it around '88, sounded Nasty! It was a nice change from the Gibson's..
I am sure you agree, The Good 'ol Days sure were FUN!

Ok, we have get together at the next Calif Conv., bring your axe and small amp, I'll bring my axe and mini Marshall half stack and we will jam some rockin tunes, also could bring a few extra mini amps, Fender twin and a Vox AC 30.

I dig the Charvel Drew, is that a Model 1? I still have a minty 1988 Charvel Model 3 in pearl white which has aged to a creamy yellow. I mainly play my Gibson's but lately the Charvel has seen a lot of use

I truly feel very fortunate to have met you many times at NAMM in LA, CA and chatting with you, after playing through your amps for close to 3 decades, the sound of these great amps has inspired myself and many many other musicians, there isn't any other amp that comes close or that has the "English tone" then a Marshall, simply incredible awesome big sound, great times through the 90s at the Marshall booth year after year, thank you 10 fold for your innovations and revolutionizing the music Mr. James Charles "Jim Marshall" the Father of Loud. Rockin my Marshall JCM800 100watt 2210 for ya, louder is better, sweet feedback and all.
