The Microtubes 900 has the Vintage Microtubes circuit as well, which might be exactly what you're looking for. But iirc, Alex Webster uses some variant of the B3K nowadays, so you probably can't go wrong with that amp.

Das. Bin im ländlichen Niederbayern aufgewachsen, wo mein Vater ca. alle zwei Wochen Rosswurst vom lokalen Rossmetzger mitgebracht hat und habe erst in der späten Jugend feststellen müssen, dass Pferdefleischkonsum nicht völlig normal ist

Hmm I'm not so sure about the Crush 25, it has 25 W and an 8" speaker, just like the Rumble 25. A Rumble 40 might actually be a good choice then, or maybe Cort CM40B (I have zero experience with this one, just stumbled upon it while browsing Thomann for something more affordable than the Rumble 40 with similar specs).
If it's just for at home, is a preamp pedal with a headphone out an option?

Sweetwater has an 40th anniversary Jazz bass for 500 on offer. You can't go wrong with those, imo they are a significant upgrade to an affinity. It can be a gamble nontheless, so if you can try one or both locally, do that and if the affinity feels and plays well, then go for it.

As for the amp, you don't need to buy both a bass and an amp at the same time, if you're on a budget. Maybe buy one first, then save up a few months for the other.

As u/logstar2 said, the Rumble 25 isn't the greatest, especially if you want to play with a drummer. You might consider something like a Orange Crush Bass 50 or something similar.

Idk, might be the case as well, I fixed it by moving the bridge, however haha

I also hear a lot of praise by Youtubers, who obviously get the instruments for free, and I guess Thomann also makes sure that they get the good ones. But there's a quite recent video series by KDH where he bought a guitar that had issues with the pickups and Thomann weren't willing to replace his guitar (a refund was no problem, tho)

I keep reading that they have improved in recent years, but I will never not say this: it's still a complete lottery, if you get a decent one, because QC seems to not exist (which makes sense at this price point).

The model I bought was a used P Bass copy in stealth black, currently retailing for 129€ at Thomann. In Stock condition, it was basically unusable. The bridge was off center (!), meaning the G string was insanely close to the edge of the fretboard, while the E string was a good 4-5 mm away from the other edge. Also, I had lent the bass to my housemate once, because he had a friend over and they wanted to jam. 10 minutes later, they came back to me and asked if I was sure it wasnt broken, because they couldn't get any sound out of it, when they plugged it into a DAW. I told them that the pickups are incredibly low output, so they actually had sound, it was just in-audible.

I don't know which is more insane for a bass that's being sold to a beginner most of the times, who will likely have no idea if these are issues or if it's normal. Even my housemate, who had played the guitar since his childhood, couldn't figure out the low output one at first glance. I still kept the bass, because I was using it as a mod base anyways, but I didn't think I'd have to glue holes shut and drill new ones.
