I cannot conceive how you can accidentally turn your tone knob while playing?!?!? It's far away from your hand and fingers. A tone knob is a must for me, and if I need more control I use my active basses.

If I had a knob to remove it would be my volume knob as I have no use of it, even on my active basses, always full on. I'd put a kill switch or simply use my tuner to mute sound between songs (what I do right now anyway).

I remember one of the 80s bands where the bass player had a Thunderbird with no knobs at all - just an on/off switch.
