Last decision on this amazing bass. Where to put a stereo/mono switch? I've marked up a picture to show the thought behind my first suggestion. This puts it out of the way and hard to flick on accident. If you use a straight cord it won't hit the switch. If you use a right angle through the strap you'll be fine. If you use a right angle and let it hang, it might hit the switch, so it sorta depends on your habit.
