Any Rocker knows the name Marshall Amps.

Founder Jim Marshall has died at age 88.
I'm sure Dave (DavidU) may have known him.

A fine man. I was lucky enough to to play(he was a drummer) with him in the early 90's. I worked with his company for a decade or so.A true legend in the music industry. Sad news.......

Not exactly a muso myself, but like many of you could relate to, I've hauled a few Marshall amps in and out of gigs many, many years ago.

RIP Jim.

Wow Dave! That would have been awesome and an honor!
Sad news indeed.:(
For that ultimate raw hard rock sound you can't beat a Marshall, especially with a Les Paul.:thumbsup:
