Zevokes is completely right on this.
The easiest solution is is to go direct-in from the bass, and after the recording, you use an amp modeling plugin to achieve the desired sound. There are a variety of software solutions out there that would fit the bill, but you'd also need a host program to record and edit with that accepts those plugins.
While you can record bass amps with a microphone, it's just easier and cheaper to do it in the box and still have great results.
Also, if you go this route, it's worth it to get a splitter that will allow the signal from the bass to both the audio card's input AND the amp, so you can hear what you're playing at a performance-friendly level.
