The callable bond issuer holds the "call". To remove the call, sell it -- receiver swaption.

Deriv...I think you're confusing yourself....If you are buying a callable bond, you are correct, the issuer holds the call. This is A BAD THING for the investor (except for the higher promised yield of course). As the investor, you would want to BUY a call, not sell a call. You already implicitly sold a call when you bought the bond from the issuer.

Edit:
I take that back...in the case where you're an issuer and you wanted to remove your call option for some reason (in order to pay a lower yield) you're right, the issuer would sell a call.
