King Blues rocking Peavey

This year has seen The King Blues utilise their Rockingham guitars and Delta Blues amplification to bring politicised fun to stages as varied as Radio 1’s Big Weekend and headlining at Rock Sound’s Rock Cave stage at Guilfest.

The ska-folk hybrid the band has crafted and refined with 2008’s Save the World – Get the Girl has been played to audiences throughout the country. While at Leeds’ Slam Dunk Festival, supporting Enter Shikari, Lounge On The Farm, and headlining the O2 Manchester Academy, the six piece from London has garnered press and fan attention. This has culminated in such highlights as playing Island Records’ 50th birthday at the Camden Crawl in April and a Radio 1 Live Lounge session in June where they played a version of Dizzee Rascal’s number one chart single Bonkers.

Along the way the band has been accompanied by Peavey’s expertise as Fruitbag and Jamie Jazz both Peavey Delta Blues use the 115.

Fender 50th Anniversary Jazz Bass

The Fender® Jazz Bass® guitar was first delivered to the world in 1960. If the Precision® was a muscle car, the new Jazz bass was a sports car. Although remarkably unchanged since its introduction half a century ago, the Jazz Bass did see a very gradual succession of subtle design refinements over the course of the past five decades. Accordingly, our 50th anniversary Jazz bass is a truly distinctive instrument in that it boasts design touches from several periods in Jazz Bass history.
