I looked at the Darkglass, but I was slightly put off by the emphasis on distortion settings. Not to say it wouldn't do crystal clear, so it certainly warrants more research.

It will do proper clean piano tone. I like that tone too.
As it happens I often still put one of the drive circuits on but at almost zero drive - seems to add something I like without driving it.
My stupid money Marleaux lives in a Mono Vertigo. It's a great bag. Very sturdy, and the vertical loading approach is far more useful than it sounds.
Only downside for me is that the bag itself is quite heavy. Not as bad as a hard case of course, but still worth thinking about if you are walking for miles with it.

Is the multi amp footswitch out yet?

That one?
Bass Direct have been selling it for ages - it's mentioned as part of a package deal as well as a separate.
Rack mount for the amp would be very useful.
Obviously every pedal maker should be making at least 1 model of envelope filter! Not that I'm obsessed or anything.
(I think I had about 25 of them at the height of my addiction)
And one from Erik

FWIW - The bright switch adds a massive amount of high clank on the full AO - to the point where I tend to use it and then back the treble down a little - to get a sort of halfway position.
There's plenty of stereo solid state power amps that don't need the unused channel to do anything.
I used to run the Yamaha P5000S using 1 side only. Just leave the B channel volume at zero. Perfectly fine as that is what it was designed for. Plenty loud enough.
I've got the full AO - I suspect that I would have bought the smaller one if it had been available at the time as I don't use the DI stuff either.
No doubt I'll end up getting the small one as well for my small pedal board.

Good evening fretmeister,
Bass weighs a shade under 10 lbs with the strap and strap locks on it. Weighed with luggage scales.
Doesn't feel as heavy as the 10lb figure would suggest when you're playing it but I have a nice thick strap for my basses as I've a weak back.
Hope this is ok.

Thank you. Too heavy for me alas - not just back issues, but multiple hernia repairs too.
Several years ago I saw 1 that was only 8.5lb and like an idiot I didn't buy it.

Down there!
I got two 4x12 bass cabs, 3 basses, kit bag, pedal board, 16 channel powered desk, 2 PA cabs and 2 people in my old Focus estate.
It managed about 40 mph then.
The main issue was the weight, not the volume of kit.
