Jake Bowen is one of the new
generation of guitarists on the cutting edge of progressive rock. His
sound is helping to redefine rock guitar, and his pickups play a major
part. The Titan™ Neck and Bridge Model pickups were developed for his
new signature guitar by Ibanez.
Jake’s bridge pickup is crucial to
his sound, and the most important feature is that it needed to be
tight. It also needed to have good dynamics for right-hand playing yet
still keep the aggressiveness and mid-range that Periphery’s music
calls for. The Titan™ Bridge Model is at home with both standard and
dropped tunings. Additionally, Jake shares that “it’s a very tight,
aggressive palm-muted sound when I do palm-muting strokes but — when I
play open chords — everything rings out very nicely”.
Many
high-output pickups are either very bright or very dark. The Titan™
Bridge Model is bright where it needs to be — on the low end. The highs
are warmer, and the Titan™ has a distinctive voice that doesn't get
lost, even in a dense, three-guitar mix.
