Anyone used a dB Technologies B-Hype 8 for bass practice?

Im currently in a band that rehearse in the singers living room. We have a drum kit (thats has dampening pads) and the two guitars use smallish amps but we dont play too loud 

I go through an old Peavey 150watt 1x15 combo, but it's kept in the adjacent room, with plants on top lol. Im loath to turn it up as it's in a glass conservatory so the neighbours will get annoyed. I can hear it ok most of the time. Singer won't let me move it before you mention it. The issue I have is before it's a room away, there is a lack of definition by the time it gets to my ears. I can use EQ, but that still wouldn't fix the glass room and reflections issue. 

 

Anyway, im thinking of getting the above speaker that I can use in the same room as the band. Play quieter, get heard with a bit less bloom. I was looking at things like the Joyo 30watt but this seems more practical. 

 

Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts. I will never need to gig it or use it in a larger rehearsal room, I have other things for that, but this seems small and cheap enough that I'll just leave it at the singers house.

I had one as a monitor and noodled through it at home a couple of times. Was impressed but never used it as an amp with other players.

Thanks. It looks like a step up from the small bass combos I’ve been looking at. Will get one ordered before the next rehearsal.
