Sorry. This is probably way more than you want so the TL : DR My white 55-60 and 55-14 because they sound and look great.

For gigs, I primarily use either my 55-60 ("Old Glory) or my 55-14 ("Sip Sip" sans Shiner decal). The guy I play with is a songwriter who loves having a lot of low notes as the foundation to the songs so I spend a lot of time down below E. And while I could use any of them for live purposes, I go with these two because they sound great and look great on stage ("Sip Sip" is one of our songs) even if the 55-60 is 11+lbs.

For recording, I've primarily used either of my 55-94's depending on the tones I'm seeking. Their fundamentals are really solid and clear and I can cop a convincing P, J, 'Ray, or Lakland sound out of them for recording. I've found I lean into the J sounding neck and split rear pickup for most of the recordings as it just sits really nice with two electrics, one acoustic, fiddle, piano/keys, and drums.

Here's a recent single of ours. I used the 2006 55-94 w/LH3 pre/pickups using the neck/split rear and you can hear how it sits amongst a fairly busy song.

Just reading though old posts in this thread. Love the sound and playing on this!

I've got LaBella 760FL's on all three of these axes. They're so good.
