I have a quick question, what is the best way to get a good recording of a electric bass guitar.

I have a Fender Bassman 100 watt Bass amp with a SXL mic line out on it. I have a Behringer MX802A mixer with 4 mic pre amps and phantom power. I have a 20bit Echo Gina sound card with a break out box that I hook my mixer into.

Would it be best to run the line out into the mic pre amps on the mixer then into the break out box

or

Should i get a Large Condensor mic (looking at the MXL 990 and MXL 991 kit) and hook it into lets say the M-Audio Audio Buddy mic pre amp/ DI and mic the bass amp and the Audio Buddy into my break out box

You guys have been real helpful with past questions i had, so I thought this would be the best place to ask!
