I am kind of new to bass still(only been playing bass for about 4 months) and am trying to decided on a good amp to get. I am looking at the Fender Rumble 350 as well as the Peavey TNT 115. Both have excellent tone, but am not sure which one is better. I play in a post hardcore band and we are going to be gigging soon. Need an amp that can take some abuse and be reliable. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

get yer skinny little butt in bed and when you wake, a few resident genies will tell you what you need (to hear). 
there is no "better", only what's "best" for you, and only "you" know what that is- after you play them both.
finer words have never been written!
now,... brace yourself for a possible on-slaught of opinions.
No experience with the Fender Rumble, but I gig with a Peavey TNT 115 220w, bought used, and I would certainly recommend giving one a play. Im very happy with mine....except for the weight lol. You may want to consider that.
You have been playing for four months and already gigging? Shiz... I am a slight perfectionist and never gigged in 9 years that I am playing. Thats my preference to be that way (although I know I am lacking in the collaboration department) but really? 4 months and getting on stage?
Thanks for the insight. I went today and played both of them again and I think that the Peavey is the one for me. About the gigging. I have played guitar for about 11 years with plenty of stage experience. After picking up bass it came rather easy to me since having prior musical skills.
