mmmmm let's see
My suggestion: (also listen to others, they are surely more accurate)
1. NEVER use your amp's direct out for recording. Every time I tried to use it, it ended up in a noisy track. YMMV
2. Do you have a mic? You can mic your amp for a cool recording w/ a little ambience.
3. The most used way to record bass that I've seen, it's the simplest. Go direct. Bass to PC. Then EQ as needed.
Good Luck
Peace...

id take a direct out of the amp and a DI of the bass simultaneously. on mix down, listen to both and see what can be done. i personally dont use mics on bass amps unless i am wanting a lot of the amp's charachter in the signal, or i want more mids. personally, i always take the bass DI, so if there are any problems with the bass not working well, i can just re-amp.
