On/Off Switch

I don't see the point. I can mute with my tuner or my amp. The less electronics in my bass the less there is to go wrong.

Sure you can find reasons for one. I can find reasons not to have one. The pedal tuners on the market are far more accurate than the headstock variety, especially for bass. I don't want an on/off on the guitar for the same reason I don't want one on the mic. More things to go wrong.

+1... if I really wanted one, it wouldn't be a big deal in install one - it's really not in issue for me, though...

When I switched out the active electronics in my former fretless '97 Sonus Special 5 for a VVT harness I added a kill switch, it came in handy on gigs during set breaks.

There is also 1 4004LK out there with a kill switch along with a VVVT harness. ;)
