I can't see most bass players being able to pull off a hybrid bass/guitar amp like that... Nick Oliveri could rock the living hell out of one though.  8)

It's an easy way to get a Super Bass reissue out I guess.  Looks minging though.

Are you getting confused with the Fender Bassman?

Hybrid though, it's a combo of a Superbass and a Superlead.

Apparently Marshall don't pay anyone anything for signature models according to the guy who designed the vintage modern

They do if for 'love'  :lol:

surely marshall will pay him a small amount if they sell well enough, like any other endorsement deal? i'd be suprised if they didnt, i know zakk wylde and kerry king do get a small bit from it.

that amp looks queer as fvck, how is Lemmy only getting a signature now in this day and age, they have been around for so damn long.

I have no idea why they've released this amp what so ever.

Yeah, he said it about Slash didn't he? They get full extra support but no money.

SUrely they also get free amps so that would count as a monitary incentive of sorts?

Also the free extra advertising for whatever project the 'artist' is about to release to me counts as a financial benefit

But I'm just cynical

That's a cool amp.

I wonder how it will sound with a guitar.

Marshall has been trying to crack back into the bass amplifier market for a few years now.
