DiMarzio DP258B Titan™ Neck - Black
Guitar Pickup
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”.
Jake's music often calls for ambient, clean passages as well as lead passages with lots of reverb, delay, and chorus. The Titan™ Neck Model has a balanced blend of highs, mids, and lows, and also works well for smooth, overdriven solos. Jake claims it enables him to retain the tone of his guitar as well as add a lot of effects without it getting “too messy".
