My bass rig consists of using Guitar Rig 5 into a power amp into a cabinet. I had been using my PreSonus AudioBox 22VSL as the interface, but recently I stuck my 18i20 in there for 2 reasons: it is rack mountable, and I can rout one of the extra outputs to be a line out to send to a mixer.
With my AudioBox I was getting about 20ms of latency. Like 6.5ish input and output and 5.8 for processing (taken from Guitar Rig). With my Scarlett I'm getting around 30ms. 13 for i/o and 6.2 ish for processing.
I'm running 44.1k (it's not like my cabinet can reproduce 22kHz) and with the Audiobox I have the buffer at 256 Samples. On the FocusRite, its at 6ms which is ~260 Samples. This makes sense as to why the processing Latency is greater. But why is the i/o latency so much worse?
To be honest, it isn't a huge deal... I can play fine with 30ms. It just seems weird to me considering how much more expensive the interface is.
