Craig J. Struble asks,
<switch at the xlr end?>>
Craig, I don't know where to order a complete cable, but if you're serious about this, then the Neutrik brand XLR connector with on/off switch is part # 568-NC3FX-S in the Mouser Electronics catalog. It's price~$10.04. Install it yourself or pay a tech to do it. You can just cut one plug off a standard guitar cord and hook up the Neutrik plug: connect the outer braided wiring of the cord (ground) to pin #1 and the inner wire (hot/tip) to pin #3 in the connector. Get those connections right or you won't hear anything from the mic; they're different from the way XLR cords are usually connected.
I made a low-impedance cable to use with a switchless vocal mic at jams so I could shut the mic off when I wasn't playing. The Neutrik switch is a plastic ring that isn't exactly confidence-inspiring, but mine is holding up fine. I may yet make up another cable to work with my JT30.
