I didn't even know there was a real Mr. Marshall, I thought he was like Ronald McDonald or Mr. Kipling.

What was he doing or rather what does he do? Does he play the guitar or just go around meeting people?

Fury Mr Jim Marshall started out as a Drummer and to my knowledge is still a drummer at the age of 78, 40 years ago he had a music shop in London where he sold drums and gave lessons, when the drummers came to his shop they brought along there guitar playing friends these guitar players were always complaining about how the amps of the time were lacking in a certain something, Jim Marshall took on these comments and thought I will rectify this and make an amp the rest as they say is history


BloodZero It was at a guitar show in Manchester UK I got a signed poster from Jim and had a great chat with him he also gave me a 40th annerversary T shirt
