OK... so age is now taking effect...

Would something like these help you see the pedal board better?

Might as well make Bass playing as comfortable as possible:

 

Those Zoom pedal displays are small, something like the Boss GX 10 is much more readable.

 

And as already mentioned - get a lightweight Bass (and amp/cab). 'what does it weigh?' is a cliché question when someone puts up an advert selling a Bass without saying the weight, I think most people that do gigs/play standing up eventually find it quite an important consideration. Manufacturers seem to have realised this and there is quite a good choice of lightweights now. 

 

There's a slight 'back in the day we didn't question the weight of a bass' attitude sometimes....yeah, but people also smoked in pubs, didn't wear seatbelts, had asbestos and lead around the house, and probably have bad backs now!
