But why do they appear on bass amps and not guitar amps typically ??

I know the benefits of having it but curious why guitar amps tend not to have it ? 

I wonder if it is because guitar amps are typically lower power vs a bass amp and therefore there are not the same issues as when switching the amp off? I have no idea but my 1300watt Bergantino forté HP instructs me to mute before switching off to avoid a "thump" via the cab.

Guitar amps should have a mute, remotely controlled by the bass player. 😊

The guitar player in a band I used to be in was a notorious volume monster. We used to turn his amp down whilst he wasn't looking or was away with the fairies taking a solo. The trick was to do it enough to prevent him from deafening you, but not enough that he would notice.
