electric bass amplification Jim Marshall, The Father of Loud 1923-2012 April 5th was already a dark day for rock music fans; legendary drummer Cozy Powell was killed in a car accident on this day in 1998, and of course Nirvana's Kurt Cobain died the same day four years earlier. Similarly Layne Staley, frontman with grungers Alice In Chains was found dead in 2002 on the 5th, and now that list has grown with the passing of Jim Marshall, the pioneer of electric guitar amplification. Just as it's impossible to imagine the hard rock scene without the Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul guitar, the sight of rows of Marshall amplifier cabinets seen at rock concerts for decades is equally iconic. Born in 1923 in Acton, west London, Jim Marshall's early years were blighted by poor health and he was unable to serve his country in World War II as a result. He started his musical career as a singer, doubling up as a drummer, and in the 1950s he started to provide drum lessons to other players. The money earned from playing and teaching enabled him to start a music store in London, initially selling drums and then guitars. It was from conversations with guitar-playing customers including The Who's Pete Townshend, that he decided to go into amplifier production, after learning that guitar players were looking for a harder sound to fit in with the burgeoning rock and roll era. After several attempts, he and engineer Dudley Craven settled upon their prototype, giving birth to the famous 'Marshall Sound'. Jim Marshall was in the right place at the right time; with so many famous guitar players on the London scene looking for just that kind of sound, he soon found his amplifier equipment being adopted by Townshend, Eric Clapton, Ritchie Blackmore and an American newcomer who shared his name: one James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix. At the height of Hendrix's fame, he enthusiastically endorsed the Marshall amplifier and within a decade, the sight of Marshall stacks were a familiar sight on stages the world over. The company he founded (Marshall Amplification) was awarded a Queen's Award for Export in 1984, and the man himself got to place his hand prints on the 'Rock and Roll Walk Of Fame' in Hollywood a year later. Although many other amplifier manufacturers have since appeared on the scene, the name Marshall remains synonymous with electric guitar amplification, and is the first name on anyone's lips when asked to name a guitar amplifier maker. Only last month, Marshall (along with bass amp makers Eden and drum makers Natal) put on a series of clinics to showcase all three brands; these featured Whitesnake members Doug Aldrich, Michael Devin and Brian Tichy. Marshall Amplification had recently acquired both Natal and Eden, and in the case of the former brand it was noted that Jim Marshall's drum background made Natal an appropriate fit for the company. Many famous guitar players have already paid tribute via Twitter, including Slash, Joe Perry of Aerosmith and Joe Satriani of Chickenfoot. Jim Marshall was one of a handful of people along with Les Paul and Leo Fender, who laid the foundation for guitar-orientated hard rock music, and as long as electric guitars are played his name will live on alongside those other iconic names. From the recent Marshall/Natal/Eden clinic at Birmingham, here is a clip of Doug Aldrich, Brian Tichy and Michael Devin performing 'Led Boots' (with thanks to Andy for the clip)
