Has anyone played these turner bolt-ons? byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1067 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 - 12:39 pm:    The piezo is the interesting bit. No 4-strings for me, though. I tried, I really did. kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 715 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2008 - 5:51 am:    I played a Model One (with the deluxe preamp that included semi-parametric EQ) for about a year and liked it, but not enough that I didn't jump at the chance to trade it for another Series 2. No complaints about the build quality, but not having a bridge pickup was a problem for me. The piezo is about the best I've tried, with no high-end 'quack' and a nice tight low end, and I found it useful for cutting through muddy mixes. With the parametric (which the BNW Turner lacks) switched off, it recorded wonderfully. I occasionally miss it.
