i am bob Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Yes, I felt a little heavy in the chest area when I read this too! I tracked this man down once during my travels so that I could say thank you to him... My favorite amp of all time was my 100 watt Marshall bass head and I used it on bass, keyboards and anything else I picked up to make noise on! Even miked a Hohner Melodica and ran that through that head!A lot of musicians around the world are grieving today! Rest in Peace, Mr Marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
