"Tube warmth" is quite a broad area. The VT Bass is different from the BDDI as it has a "character" knob, which could help narrow down which flavour of tube warmth will work best. I found it helped me to realize I was after more B15 than SVT. Similar idea with Darkglass Vintage Microtubes and its "era" knob.

I thought the house bassist uses Silver Slaps. A double bass is such a classic instrument that it can open a lot of doors. I'm not very good bassist and I never make any attempt to network; still, I get offered more gigs than I can take on, so I end up declining some quite nice ones (and well-paid too, & some abroad stuff). This is because the bandleaders want a double bass rather than EUB or bass guitar. The style is jazz, swing, rock'n'roll, "postmodern jukebox". (Not intending to discourage anyone from taking up EUB - just giving a perspective.)

It doesn't require it - but it can take it and go loud, if you want to. I used a Shuttle 9.2 (500W into 8ohm) with my One10.

Something like this: https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_rack_case_2u.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_rackbag_2he.htm How big is it (how many "units")?

Particularly if singers are involved, you'll do well to be familiar with the American Songbook. A crash course would be to listen to Ella's records all with the similar name: "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the [Gershwin/Cole Porter/etc...] Song Book".
