They always show the CQ18, but the CQ20 has XLRs for the output.

Go to https://g-gotoh.com/productList/res-o-lite-series/?lang=en Check the shape and sizes of the GB 640 and GB 528 with your bass, my gut says you need the 640s, but my MIJ Aerodyne really needed the 528. From memory the main difference, apart from the baseplate shape, is the headstock hole diameter. Mine has a painted headstock, so I was nervous drilling it out. If I had done my research, I would have bought the 528s.

Dementia also close to home for me as is Breast and Prostate Cancer.

The DiMarzio pickups usually have adjustable pole pieces so you can set the pickup heights in the usual way but fine tune the volume of each string by either lowering or raising the pole pieces with an alien key.

Roughly half the weight. I have them on my Aerodyne. Is the bass of far east origin? If so, you may need the GB528

Randy And Timothy both used a variety of basses over the years but despite personally preferring a Precision bass to a Jazz, that does look lovely.

So the question is, how many of us are willing to stump up for the hall? @scrumpymike, how much do you need to cover the costs?

Second cab reason? Backache, not so far to bend to turn up to 11.

Missed that I will modify my post.

Add sound techs that attempt a mass appendectomy with the bass drum.

https://www.altoprofessional.com/products/tmd-16 A brief look says it is as you say @Phil Starr. I have only had a cursory look at the Operating Instructions, but it has one drawback that I can see, like the Flow 8 has control via Bluetooth but not Wi-Fi/Ethernet. Not really a big deal for a pub band, but where folks want control for a sound check or musicians want some control of their own monitor mix, you cannot do it. It also has only 8 mic/line inputs, and I am not sure that 3 stereo pairs is really needed on this size of mixer. None of these would be a deal-breaker if you were transitioning from an Analogue mixer. I would not swap it for my A&H CQ20, but if I had never used a digital mixer, It would be an option. I do commend Alto for doing something different, though.

I don't think I have ever taken anything that Mr Plod would object to on a Gig day. I do often have a beer after setup and soundcheck, as those are the most stressful times. As I have to drive home, that beer is not strong and as I am driving home around 5 hours later, probably not currently illegal. If they change in the law, as looks likely, then Guinness Zero or Ginger Beer. Can I play when stoned or drunk, no! Can I create when not stone-cold sober? No.

It is arguable that Apple Juice is more potent than a JD, especially when diluted with cola.

The pain and discomfort of the headache will do more harm than a few paracetamols.
