In the meantime, in response to ZZuZZaXX's note, I would personally avoid any effect that is irreversible, including a drive, on bass recording. For a live session, it is a different story, of course, but at least one of the bass channels recorded should be kept clean so that you can process it to your liking at a later stage.
Particularly, if you are recording digitally, you can take that clean signal and send it back to any effect or amp and get all the effects. If you would like to mic your amp, you can also send the original signal back to the amp (using a technique called re-amping) and use your preferred mic and mic positioning.
I know I am diverting the topic a little bit (and sorry for that), but my recording chain includes two or three simultaneous channels:
1. Bass > REDDI (a 6N1P-based tube DI) > Millennia Media SS mic preamp > RME Fireface 800 (sound card and convertor) > ProTools or Logic (recording interface)
2. Bass > a tube bass compressor > Millennia Media SS mic preamp with tube gain stage and a bit of EQ > RME Fireface 800 (sound card and convertor) > ProTools or Logic (recording interface)
3. Bass > Bergantino Forte HP bass amp > 2 x Bergantino 1x12" speakers > a broadcast mic like EV RE20 or Shure SM7 > engineer's preferred mic preamp & convertor > engineer's preferred recording interface
These are all clean channels and I can always go back to the studio and re-process one of these channels (or a combination of them).
Sorry again, if I moved away from the OP's initial question too much... Just wanted to share...
