Joey can be seen playing his Fender 1982 Gold Jazz Bass throughout Paramore's After Laughter tour. He mainly used it for Paramore's older songs, such as Misery Business, That's What You Get, Still Into You, and Ain't It Fun. The bass was tuned to Drop D, which is suggested by the tunings needed for That's What You Get and Still Into You. However, for Ain't It Fun and Misery Business, the low D string was tuned down to C# rather than tuning the entire bass to C# standard like former Paramore bassist Jeremy Davis used to do.

It can be spotted best in this video at 1:36.
