My Jaydee Supernatural had a mini toggle switch between the volume & tone controls for the active circuit.

That's generally a bypass switch and it normally does not disconnect the preamp, it remains powered, but the signal bypasses it.

Yes I've seen a switch as well as the Jack just like a push pull active passive switch but they've still got the stereo Jack, leaving one on passive would stop the drain though I'd think, no such option on a genuine musicman though.

Except a Reflex, Big Al, some US Subs, one or two limited runs of Stingrays (PDN white Classic; a Guitar Centre special run - used the same stuff as the white Classic).

The hang tag manual for the 70s/80s Stingrays mentioned battery drain as negligible. The change to the design was made in the 80s. Battery life of one to three years estimated according to the blurb.
