60s pastel on the P for sure. Put my vote in for seafoam or sonic blue w/ tort. I agree on the white Hollowbody...

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 :)
 
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.

100% correct

Bug in hum bucker mode? They have alit of growl and bottom end!
 
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

Carl can put together an outboard lh3.....just s thought

I sampled one and loved it on my Jo and jocs!

2 good choices
 
Offender originally coming with those pastel colors would come with a mint guard the tort is a classic option from parts but I prefer mint

The guard is already mint :) I considered getting a new guard cut if need be, but I would prefer not to. Seafoam green is getting more votes right now!

Also, I should point out this HB neck: it's very dark rosewood (beautiful) and nice creamy dots.

Getting a good photo of these aspects was difficult with my iPad, but here's what I got. Pearl white sounds like a great choice, but Olympic or something more...creamy...could go with the dots better. OR I'm just thinking too much. Pearl white would own.
 
Dark rust color on the P...MHS.
Olympic White cream color on the HB. With the black HS.
( I like warm colors, not a fan of the blues and greens )

I like the Sonic Blue, Vintage white angle.
