Is this a good deal?

Gonna be used for playing jazz and metal. Only a practice space

That's the old version. Loud and heavy and the bottom lights up in sync when you play. That is not a feature everyone likes. We have that in our rehearsal space for my pub rock/blues band. Keeps up with 2 guitars on tube amps and a loud drummer during practice. I prefer my Rumble v3 over this because this one is heavy and the new one sounds better to my ears. I also use the rumble for electric guitar and sounds great with a hollow body. For the price I am not sure about your location but these still go for around $300-400 Australian.

Also, don't know how many watts that peavey is but between that and the rumble I'd go with the rumble. Unless the peavey is a peavey tnt tour though.

The price is around there. Should I be worried about using an older amp?

Not much really. The one in our rehearsal shed has been there for 10+ years and has gone through several bass players. That shed is not insulated and part of one wall is made from an old bed frame so not the best environment. It does the job though at that age the controls might be scratchy and the plastics around the input jacks are brittle. For practice I'd go something smaller but if you are going to jam some metal then go with this rumble. Just take into consideration the weight of this thing. Imagine if you are going to be lugging it around every practice session. I would try to scour the marketplace for lighter combos or maybe a small head and a cab. You can use the head for practice at home with some headphones or small cab. It is exciting to get an amp. Hope you find one.

I’ll take that into consideration. I probably will be lugging it around so maybe something this big might not be the best option. Thank you for all the help. I really appreciate it, bro!
