The SLX-2100 with a reverb pedal you keep avoiding buying from me!

Just kidding. No sure what Marshall would do the disco thing but I suppose any of them but there's not enough reverb, besides you need like an envelope filter for that funk/disco sound like a vibe or q-tron.

I'll check that sound out.....

In front of my VM 2266 tonight!!

that vintage marshall aint NO DISCO!!!!!!

steelhorse · 10-28-2008, 01:11 AM

Shoot what do you think folks were playing back then? All of the cover chinka chinka bands were using Marshall's (not me I was using stereo boogies).

I know what you want, you want a boutique amp with fur lined handles with sparkly tolex!

Resistance is futile

Would you stop clogging up the forums with your retarted ass threads.

stock_hippie · 10-29-2008, 11:32 AM

Jeez pal... you do know you can just "not read" them... How's that for a time saver ?

disco any one wha chika wha wha

steelhorse · 10-30-2008, 06:26 AM

Admittedly, the SLX-2100 isn't the ideal amp for disco but after a few drinks who's gonna notice?!

They'll just think, dang, that guitar player likes to play his Bee Gees with an edge!

lerxst88 · 10-31-2008, 12:42 AM

ok i dont even understand how someone could logically repl to this thread i didnt understand where any of it was going.

about guitars going out of tune: guitar companies make guitars that stay in tune but gibson likes to skimp on just about everything because people keep buying the les paul because it makes them "a real man"

steelhorse · 10-31-2008, 12:52 AM

I'm thinking that although stock hippie was asking a legit question that this thread doesn't need to be taken too seriously....

steelhorse · 10-31-2008, 01:21 AM

Oh btw stock hippie you may have had an epi with a bad tuner but I've seen this happen with other guitars where the D or G goes out faster than the others. It depends some on the gauge and type of strings and how they were prepped before the gig.

I really stretch my strings when I reinstall, use only certain types of strings depending on what tuning the guitar will be used for, I check the fretboard, do a drop of nut sauce on the nut slots each re-string, check the saddles etc. I've changed all of my LP bridges and tail pieces to Tone Pros and when I tune after a good stretch, I check for intonation as well.

I realize this wasn't your epiphone but thought I'd mention the process.

Enjoy bro!
