Guitars - Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded Finish: - See Details

The very cool “worn” that has already proven to be a very popular finish on select models is now being offered for the first time on Les Paul Standards and it looks great!

The new Les Paul Standard Faded series gets you that highly sought after vintage Les Paul vibe at a fraction of the cost of an original late-50’s piece. The hand-rubbed traditional burst finishes on these guitars are finished with a satin treatment that gives you a brand-new guitar that looks totally vintage and weathered in just the right way. Select from Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Honey Burst or Tobacco Burst.

The best is now available to you, let us show you how!

Bass - Gelb Music is proud to add Sadowsky basses to our product stable - See Details

To say the Sadowskys have been a big hit would be an understatement. In the few months we've had them they've gotten more attention and come off the wall more often than anything else in recent memory.

The first four we received sold out in less than 10 days!

The best is now available to you, let us show you how!

Electronic Drums - The Roland TD-12 - See Details

With the same stunning sound quality as the flagship TD-20, the new TD-12 drum module provides hundreds of expressive instruments and play-along sequences in a streamlined, affordable package. Many of the sounds in the TD-12, from drums to cymbals, are COSM modeled for the ultimate in expression and realism.

The module provides the same large, icon-based LCD as its big brother (the TD-20), and is housed in a road-tough, metallic black chassis with a friendly array of buttons, controls, and mix sliders. Twelve trigger inputs are provided, plus four audio outputs and MIDI I/O.

Keyboards - Receptor from Muse Research - See Details

Love your plug-ins in the studio, but always thought computers looked geeky on stage? Do your plug-ins take too long to load? Does the whole deal not seem stable enough for live use? Is your host computer maxed out, making you yearn for more fire power in the studio?

Receptor is the answer!

Receptor is a ground breaking new product from Muse Research that takes existing VST plug-in technology to the next logical step, turning it into a super sound module.

Hand Percussion - The new large LP Giovanni Series Galaxy Djembe - See Details

The new larger LP Giovanni Series Galaxy Djembe provides deep, resonant bottom end frequencies along with crisp highs.

After many hours of research by the LP design team, the new Giovanni Djembe head was increased by an inch-and-a-half. The 14" head diameter proved to be the magic size that projected all the sonic features desired in a djembe including crisp slaps, interesting high harmonics, and, of course, the foundation frequencies that kick us into sub-low territory.

Amplifiers - FUCHS ODS 50 HEAD - Howard "Alexander" Dumble - See Details

Few names inspire such a rabid, "foaming at the mouth" reaction from true amp aficionados. Haven't heard of him? That's okay too! But if you've heard the likes of, oh... let's say... Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Sonny Landreth, Carlos Santana, or Larry Carlton? Then you've heard the amplifiers that he is legendary for having built. No, unfortunately this isn't an article about how Gelb Music has finally become the world's first and only Dumble Amplifier Dealer. But, even if you could locate one of these true "Holy Grail" of amps, more than likely you wouldn't be able to shell out the literally TENS of thousands of dollars it would cost.

Enter Fuchs...

Effects - Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer Reissue - See Details

The Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer is back at Gelb, due to popular demand!

Stompboxes come and go, but the TS-9 remains a popular, proven overdrive that will excel in pretty much any setting that calls for a sweet, sustaining tone. This reissue has been in production for over ten years and continues to feature the same circuitry, including the same IC chip, as the original 80’s items that fetch those high, high vintage prices.

Testimonials

"Even though I live in SF I have been a long time customer of Gelb Music. Starting out as a pup in my first band to touring internationally, the folks at Gelb have taken care of me and made sure I was ready to rock. Over the years I've developed personal relationships with the guys that work there. Being a woman in the music industry has enough challenges of it's own but these guys have never given me attitude and really helped me out and encouraged me. I have nothing but the highest regards for this place."
Nancy Kravitz

"Gelb Music is a one of a kind store. You can go all over the U.S. (I have) and not find a store as great as Gelb. Their sales staff is extremely knowledgeable, all of them are experienced musicians, most with gigging bands, and their service is probably better then what you get at a $100 a plate restaurant. Every time I go to Gelb music I leave feeling happy and confident that my purchase will continue to please me for years to come. They have not let me down yet."
Mike Thompson

"The Gelb staff is able to extend their remarkable knowledge of music, instruments, musicianship, and art to a wide range of consumer ranging in age from the interested child to the adult. This staff treats all the people who enter the doors of this fine establishment with respect and patience."
Jim & Sean Clifford

"There are three main reasons I always shop at Gelb: extremely knowledgeable and friendly salespeople; extensive selection of professional grade gear; and none of the used-car-lot hassles of other music stores. I always get a great price without having to spend my day bartering with commissioned salespeople."
Michael Tyler

"What can I say?! I've been shopping at Gelb for almost 20 years, and their selection, service, and support is still the best in the Bay Area!"
Mark Cvitkovich

"I've been buying my equipment at Gelb for about 20 years now.
The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and more interested in meeting my needs rather than selling me
something I don't need or that doesn't fit.
They are always ready to answer my questions, and they always have the newest equipment and absolutely the best prices in the Bay Area.
I won't shop anywhere else, you shouldn't either."
Ray Souza
