Colin,

How much time do you have?? How about a week!

You're in proximity (driving distance) to an unlimited number of music stores, with several GC's included. Don't forget the San Jose Guitar Center (@45 mins). I have fun just getting an itinerary figured out!!

In addition, if you're around here on Friday let's hook up and do some playin'!!

[Slingy]

Not sure if you will still be around on Fri-Sun, if so you should register for email coupon at Genter Center. Friday is 15% off and Sat-Sun is 10%. I'm a couple hours up north, but the bay area is just great, so much to do. I recommend a drive through wine country.

[GoKart_MoZart]

All the above are good. There's a GC in the farrrrr east bay, too (Concord, I think).

Also, Bananas At Large in San Rafael (north of SF across the Golden Gate bridge) is outstanding for boutique pedals. Great staff, too. They carry MM basses, but I've never seen a MM guitar there...

Rocker is a pretty great store. Their MM inventory has been depleted by me and my firends though

My buddy scored a Black Sparkle Silo Bass there. I wonder how rare that is???

[mntngrown]

Vintage in locked cases? Boutique basses etc or " I just need a new set of strings"
I've been told these guys have a cool selection. Gelb Music - Your Music Solution - Guitars, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Amps, Effects, Drums, Hand Percussions, Pro Audio Recording, and Product Reviews Just south on Hwy 101 from SF, but I have not been there. If you go to San Jose check out "Guitar Showcase" where I took lessons in 1960's. They have some glass cases with old stuff.
I was hoping to find my spray can painted 50's P-bass there when I got back into playing recently. No such luck.

I'm leaving on Thursday, bummer thanks for the offer your a good guy.

Not sure if you will still be around on Fri-Sun, if so you should register for email coupon at Genter Center. Friday is 15% off and Sat-Sun is 10%.

I went to a GC yesterday and they gave me the discount then (great guys)

My buddy scored a Black Sparkle Silo Bass there. I wonder how rare that is???

I think that silo bass is now at the Van Ness store cause I nearly bought it! but they couldn't sell it to me until the 1st. Thanks to everyone that replied San Fran is cool and I love Guitar Center!

I want to get a guitar from this place.
