yeah, i like them. they sound kinda like a p90 but better. really punchy and really sharp but can also get really smooth. jangly a bit sometimes too. like i said before... if anyone really wants a sample i can hook that up.

Same here. Can you possibly upload it to box.net? Requires an account, but it's handy because it's got a built-in player.
