Brian Marshall's Gear

Brian Marshall is heavily endorsed by Sadowsky. In a September 2012 interview for Bass Guitar Magazine, Marshall has said:

"I’ve played Sadowsky basses for ages. When I was in Creed I was going through a number of Fenders. Basically they just wouldn’t stay in tune and I often ended up smashing them up! I love the feel of a vintage Fender, though. My tech at the time told me about Roger Sadowsky, and we stopped by his workshop when we were in New York. I tried one and just fell in love with it. So I bought it and custom ordered a couple more 4-strings. Then when Alter Bridge started the guys suggested I try 5-string bass. I was reluctant but it really adds more depth to the sound. So I got a few 5-strings from Roger. Sadowskys are all I play live. They play great. They have that feel of a vintage bass, but with a modern sound. You can do a lot with the EQ, run it passive or active, though I always run it passive."
