Got myself a beautiful '05 Brown Bass w/LEDs. Love it to death, but what drives me crazy is the stereo switch. The switch is right next to the 1/4" jack, so it's way to easy to accidentally hit especially when using a right angle cord. Is there any way to disable the switch without doing anything permanent? |

You've noticed the same thing I have about right angle chords. The chord would hit either the stereo or LED switch. I just quit using the right angle plugs and haven't had any problems since then. It is this experience that caused me to move the LED switch on my Series 1. Keith |

I agree about the hassle. I specified the relative positions of switches and jacks accordingly when I had my bass built so that the cable running up to the strap would not hit anything. |

Maybe a side jack is another option to consider when looking at a new bass, although it wouldn't have the same authentic look on a brown bass i suppose. |

So on a related note, is it easy to switch out neutrix right angles for straight? These Bayou cables were expensive... |
