Help me pick a budget bass amp

Hiss seems more prevalent overall on bass amps than on guitar amps, IMO. Could that just be the cab rather than the amp?

Yes, at least partly. Lots of bass cabs have horns while most guitar cabs do not.
 
Just as an update... I got my B200H today and it rocks! It is whisper quiet, at least out of the direct out (I don't have a cab yet, so I can't test that). I can use the direct out to hook it up to my MOTU and record with, which also sounds quite good. I might go back to trying to sell the J-Station now that I have this thing. It makes exactly the sound I'm always trying to get out of the J-Station. If I just add the Big Muff clone I'm about to build, I can probably get the distortion tones I want (either that or the Sansamp). Thanks for the advice everyone, especially Yonce N Mild for recommending the B200H. Now I just need to keep scouring craigslist for a cab...
