Hi Mark

I cant say witch physical interface is best, I play a selfmade cocolele
captured with a electret-condenser microphone direct to line in. 

But for play a bass with gx_head I will suggest to use the tube 12AU7
the bassman tonestack and additional maybe a IR-file like
Black_Panel_Fender_Bassman.wav

For 6 string electric guitar you will properly better suited with the
6V6 tube and the JCM2000 tonestack. 12 string will properly sound a bit
clearer with the good old 12ax7 and the Twin Reverb or Princeton stack.
But all that depend on your taste.
