Jake Bowen An integral part of the progressive metal masters “Periphery” Bowen is a heavy-hitter for meaty riffs and sizzling solos. Since 2010 his band have been key figures in popularising the new genre known as “djent” thats inspired new generations of musicians. Their songs regularly feature visceral punchy chords mixed with sweeping technical riffs. This exciting energetic style is reflected in the JBM9999 which has all the tools to recreate this dynamic style. Custom voiced pickups Monstrous sonics. The JBM9999 boasts a set of pickups that are specifically designed to capture Bowens signature sound and grant you a fearsome amount of tonal firepower. At the bridge is a mighty humbucker that possesses a guttural snarl. Thick warm and weighty its tone has massive presence with a defined low-end excellent for roaring out those chugs and aggressive chords. Over at the neck is a slanted dual-rail single coil. Brimming with a piercing sonic presence this pickup has a razor-sharp edge that can rip through a mix. Thanks to the dual rails its got plenty of output for high-gain thrills and combined with its neck position you can get a smooth lead sound thats not overly harsh. Sizzling switching Dynamic sound. The pickups are formidable and their electronics are exceptional. Armed with a 5-way switch youve got plenty of textures to sample to change up your sound on-the-fly. Theres the standard neck middle and bridge positions that utilise the full character of each (or both!) pickups. But where things get even more interesting are those in between positions… Position 2 puts the neck dual-rail into parallel connection which moderately reduces its output. This backs off the gain and works great for cleans by providing that sparkling crystalline sound. Over at position 4 youre getting half of each humbucker running together. This creates a boosted single-coil type sound that can give your rhythm sections plenty of bite helping you slice through an ensemble. Riff like youve always wanted Built for speed. This is an Ibanez thats shred ready and gives you total playing freedom. Featuring a JBM profiled 5pc maple / walnut neck youll enjoy a superior playing attack. Its ultra-thin smooth and responsive to make your riffs fluid and position changes swift. It plays fast and itll play long because that slim shape is so easy to hold you wont get tired. Even better the 5 piece construction means its extraordinarily resistant to temperature and humidity changes affording you total reliability for performing. Combined with a gorgeous ebony fretboard youre going to be unstoppable. Its a supremely sleek surface that encourages your best technical playing. Its so smooth that navigating the whopping 27 frets is a breeze and youll be able to get from one end to the other in a flash. Your speed is enhanced by the Prestige fret edge treatment meaning youll get nothing but comfort when youre racing around the fretboard.
