I did it with my guitar last time we recorded
DI into the desk, through a hastily chosen, but suitable amp model in Logic, so I could hear it in the headphones/monitors, then ran the signal back out through my real amp afterwards.

This is also an option, I guess
We're planning to blitz through everything and take it all home to mix on our drummer's computer, so I could always just get a decent take of everything and then run the signal back through my Laney afterwards.

it's definitely worth considering
although you would need to get at least a couple of mikes on your amp to make sure you capture it nicely.

means you can loop it back through your amp and fiddle with the settings while it is playing which is pretty handy.

Normally with a bass amp
I believe it's enough to get a mike in front of the speaker and probably a line out from the preamp. Might try and get a room mic in place for the solo though!

yeah, that sounds good.
there's nothing worse than recording and not being happy with the sound, which is why I recommend recording it DIed. Gives you more options after the fact
