To put it bluntly. The u67 is the only one that sounds like it belongs on a professional recording as is.
truuuuuue !

i wouldn't say "the most realistic", but "the most musical" for that kind of project ?! i'm not sure i could say the same as a drums ambiance.

with the 67, the smell of neil young or nick drake is here...
not too punchy, probably a tiny bit louder than the other samples, but no need eq and comps, it's done !
and seems to fit in every mixes, alone or between 40 other musicians.

the swedien has a sort of resonance between 800 and 1k, the sony is to me the most realistic, but not tasty :(
the AT prefers to hear the pick's attack instead of the notes... oohh i'm bad...

i listened to these samples cause i planed to buy a FLEA 47.
i eared it with my beyer dt770.

cheers for the samples fellows !
