Those Sire instruments are reputed to be excellent value for money. Certainly as good as the Squier Vintage Modified series - just without the backup of The Big F.
Your risk. The loudspeaker(s) in the Katana might not be able to take the excursion required for low notes - especially on the low B. I would get dedicated bass amplification.
Is there a range where you get built in FX and so on?

As for a bass amp with fx, the Roland Bass Cubes (available in various wattages) are good value. If you don't need an amp but want amp models and fx to play through, look at a Zoom B3 unit.
Certainly decided I prefer Ibanez' budget range over Squier, that rumble studio was great but maybe a bit over what I'd buy for bass "experiments".
Was kind of an impressive product though, lots of different options for a home bassist, worth a try for anyone wanting a practise amp, but was £350.
You could always investigate pre-owned kit.

Use a clean sound, and as long as the speaker isn't sounding obviously stressed it's OK - you'll know about it from the sound if it's likely to be a problem. For home practice it's unlikely you'll be playing at more than a few watts.

According to the product description, the tc electronic Spectradrive pedal is the equivalent of the pre-amp stage of their BG Series amp heads.
Whether this is a good thing is a matter of opinion. I have had many years' dependable service from a tc Staccato '51 and RS210 rig. This (now discontinued) amplifier pre-dates the Behringer buy-out.
Generalising horribly, Behringer design ideas are great ... mainly because they are usually somebody else's! The execution is what tends to let the products down.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youIt was active the Bass I liked, an Ibanez Gio one, nothing flash but it sounded good and played well.
However, the knockout features were its size (Having shoe-horned a 10” and a teeeter/horn in there) and it’s insanely light weight.
Would be a really good home practise and rehearsal amp. I’ve always been really impressed with the Rumble amps and they continue to deliver. As @ESBlonde said - the Studio 40 has an air of Markbass about it without the price tag.
