I swear that guitarist was miming for most of that clip.

Put the amp head in the freezer, it will give all enough to fit. However, assuming it does not split the case as it expands, it will never come out.

It’s almost counter~intuitive but HPF is the bassists and sound tech’s friend.

Is it the Programmable BDDI? I will admit to being ignorantly of the circuitry involved in the Sansamp BDDI, I will contact Tech 21 for more info. Some questions, when working normally, does the switch normally give a definite click when pushed? If not then they use some form or electronic switching. To stay true to their analogue circuitry, they are probably used IC based analogue switches. In the early days, these were frowned upon by the HiFi fraternity but they do allow simpler all along designs and the use of momentary switches rather than mechanically latched ones. This should improve reliability. I am based in the Conurbation (Poole), so happy to have a look at it.

Try the factory library settings. I have not tried the female singer one but when I sang through the CQ20 on Male Vocal setting, I sounded like a singer, surely a miracle. Of course you can tweak from the factory setting but it’s probably a good starting point.

Did you do the Burn era? IMHO one of the best Rick albums ever and the best DP

Sadly that Beyma went dome time ago. The 12CVM2 is a close alternative but not an exact replacement. I have a Faital Pro 12PR320 neo if it helps or @Phil Starrmight have a Beyma.

Does this make sense?

As a 4 string player, I would ask a question. When I did play a fiver it was to allow me to get to a D below low E. I never needed to play the the Low B as it is to far into the “muddy waters”. If you go through a PA, a decent sound man will HPF your sound to about 70 Hz, which means almost no output via the PA playing an open B.

That is something I had hoped to make clear in the original post, and I believe why the classification of Bronchiectasis came into being. As for how the lung damage happened, my "Asthma" started at 1 year of age. At exactly the same time as the Great Smog (Dec 1952). The Great Smog lasted 6 days and the air contained sulphur dioxide plus moisture. Mix those two and you have dilute Sulphuric Acid to breathe.

As someone of a certain age, and having Bronchiectasis (think COPD but not self-inflicted) I am interested whether any of you do anything to stay fit enough for gigging?

I did have to cut them down with a hacksaw, lol. They were of course 75mm or 3" to any ludites. Yes I am pleased with the look although in hindsight, I should have re-thought it and perhaps made it bigger. I have been unwell for the last 10 days so not more progress to report.

The CQ does not include an internal matrix but feeding the base into two inputs would work well. Slightly off-topic, but the chorus works like a dream for a bass.

There are many ways of looking at PAT. Before there were really defined standards, Panasonic would revoke the guarantee on any item that had a PAT test label. If we go back many years, especially the early days of valve amps, there were some lethal products around and the dangers were very real, but the various standards passed in the intervening years mean that equipment itself is very safe. The venues are another matter, as @Phil Starrhas mentioned. A socket tester is your friend https://www.screwfix.com/p/kewtech-kewcheck-103-13a-socket-tester-230v-ac/45558. The other point is that your lips are ultra snsitive and a very small elctrostatic charge could be just as likely from a microphone. Perhaps a foam shield? https://www.andertons.co.uk/shure-a58ws-blk-foam-windscreen-for-sm58-beta58a-sm48-and-565sd-mics/ will both protect you from shocks and also protect your mic from saliva.

Hayseed Dixie Tribute?

The Mipro ones have a short delay of approx 1mS from memory, whereas the Lekatos are 5mS. Not an issue in most situations, but the Mipros really are pro bits of kit.

This is a clone of the original MM 2 band pre-amp.

Wow, they said nothing heavier than a bag or sugar, 2.2lbs. I am sure the packaging must make it over 2.6lbs. Which one do you have?

I am about to have an abdominal operation and must not lift heavy weights for 6 weeks after. Could I gig with a UBass and how much do they weigh?

A J is just nut P enough for me. I have mostly P/Js and without fail the J pup at the. Bridge is so low it is unusable.
