NO!
...as has already been stated. I'm not going to hate on Crate amps (I have one, a V33) and that particular one you listed is decent for what it is and what it costs. However, it won't sound nearly as good with Bass as the Peavey you have.

Well, IM BACK!
With a new offer
a 1967 Traynor YGM-1. New tubes, and the guy was specifically looking for a transistor amp with an active in. I sent him an email, and he said he happens to be a fan of Mark IV's so he's interested.
should i go for it?
I mean its got 100watts of tube power.

That's a 2 x el84, 1 x 12" combo; about 20 watts. Useless as a bass amp at anything like real world volumes.
What exactly is the problem with that Peavey?
That's a YGA-1.
Pretty much the same thing as the YBA-1, I think with the addition of tremolo.
2x7027, about 50 watts.

AHH i just read up on the vintage traynor tribute site velvet something, and apparently its only 50 watts. I dont think i should do it.
Unlesss i could treat is as an investment?

I played through a vintage Traynor YBA-1 at a medium sized venue last week...of course it was split through being mic'd and my bass was DI'd, but it sounded really really good. As for rehearsal, I use it standalone with the matching 15" cab and it's not really loud enough for the drummer to hear across the room - and if you put the volume over 10 o'clock it'll break up real easy. Sounds sweet at low volume.
Years ago I used to play through a Peavey Musician amp connected to a bass cabinet and it was great! Had a few more controls on it than the bass amps of the time. Seemed to work fine and had lots of bass.
