It's interesting. I've got one of the Steve Bailey Jazz Basses and it has a mute switch on it. At first I thought it was one of those features that I would never use. I'm used to running the volume wide open and turning it all the way down between songs etc.

The other night I was at a jam session and realized why the mute switch is there. The Steve Bailey model has 18 volt active electronics. The rehearsal studio had a Fender Bassman 80 and the output of the fender at full volume was causing it to distort. After finding the sweet spot with the bass volume I just used the mute switch between songs and I didn't have to find the sweet spot again.

I highly recommend this mod to anybody who has a high output instrument.

Stay Brown,
Rev J

My Jazz Plus has a mute thingy. The J Plus isn't all that different from the Baily imo.


if you consider both being a bass guitar, yeah they're not that different. The Steve Bailey is a full scale 6 string bass.
