Joywave—the Rochester, New York-bred indie group—was first formed in 2010 and gained early popularity over the next few years with their debut album, How Do You Feel Now? and notably a certified platinum, #1 Alternative hit, “Dangerous”, a collaboration with Big Data.
Now, with over a decade of touring and four albums under their belt, the group has decided to part with some of their much-loved gear from over the years in their Official Joywave Reverb Shop.
The gear on offer in the shop really spans the gamut, from stage- and studio-used instruments to stage decor used on tour.
In the shop, you'll find basses like the 2015 Fender Standard Jazz Bass, which features lots of worn-in character and a nice low action, alongside a Roland JC-120 used by the band in the studio on a yet-to-be-announced project used on stages across the country to amps from the band's most recent studio experience and lots of extra road cases.
"There's a beautiful M32 console that we used for monitoring during our first few big headline tours," Joywave singer Daniel told us. "You can see little details, like the power plug says 'Noah' on it—he was our monitor engineer during that time."
Fans looking for similarly personal touches leftover from the band will enjoy some of the mutlieffect pedals that still pack presets from the band's use "that say things like 'It's a Trip!'" Daniel shares.
Additionally, The Official Joywave Reverb Shop includes:
- An Ampeg SB-12 Portaflex that was used by the band on the song "Obsession."
- A 2019 Fender American Professional Stratocaster in very good and fully operational condition with just a few signs of cosmetic wear.
- A sweet and unique Fender offset Telecaster-style partscaster featuring a Deluxe Fender Nashville Power Tele neck.
- An electronic sign that Joywave used as stage decor while on tour. The sign hasn't been tested due the wires being cut, but regardless of whether or not it lights up, it makes a great relic.
