Perfect!

Hilarious!

You are learning from Tom!
 
Yeah, I will have to do that. Until then, I will keep playing my 44-06.5 :D It is my 01 with Chi's and passive tone control that has me wanting the 07 - honestly though I am not sure I would use the humbucking setting anyway, love the stock single coil tone of these immensely.
Ah, one thing you should be aware of then: the single-coil mode of the hum bucking Chis sounds different from the single-coil Chis. I would say the former has less bottom to it and less growl. But obviously with a preamp, you can compensate. I had a passive Skyline Decade w/hum bucking Chis and didn't dig the single-coil mode.

Good to know - I really do like the sound of the standard single coils that is for sure. Thanks for that bit of information.
 
So what outboard preamps are LOGgers using for their passive Laklands?

My 4-94 is somewhat out of rotation; I'm using the passives (DPLEII & hollowbody) for both bands' gigs and rehearsals. I really miss having multiband EQ onboard for significant tone-shaping at my fingertips, and do need a wide variety of tones for covers from many styles and eras (motown, blues, classic & modern rock.) I'm considering installing onboard preamps (John East U- and/or P-retros), but wary of cost and modification's impact to originality.

Perhaps an outboard preamp squeezed onto my pedalboard might give some happy medium compared to maneuvering my way back to my amp.

Please discuss. :D

Refin time!! It's off to Marty Bell.

The P will get a matching headstock of whatever color i settle on in a few days. Maybe..sonic blue? Daphne blue? Or something else? The HB might end up being white.

And, for the record, they both have darkstars. So that could change your vote if you're brainstorming with me :)

Pearl white that Hollowbody! Seafoam Green on the P!
