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!

product stable - See

To say

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!

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.

- 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

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."
