Not R.I.P., that is inappropriate for the man who gave us bassists decades of too loud guitarists, but rather R.W.T.C.B.


Rest with two cabs blaring (at least).

Rest well Jim and crank it to "11."

Jim was just the money man. Ken Bran built the amps. No disrespect, just keeping the facts straight.

You DO know those were failed bass cabs, right?  ;)

If any musician was asked to name...
 
... a Bass they would probably say - Precision (sorry guys) ...

... a Guitar...? Les Paul or Strat...

... an Amplifier...?

Jim Marshall gave the industry a name that will probably outlive us all...
