I would use Native Instruments' Guitar Rig wich would give you a
maximum of flexibility. If you practice just get some high quality
headphones and the soundquality will be awsome. It also works on linux
using FST and wine.

 sounds for bass compared to the guitar v-amp. Is it worth while
 getting one? Has anyone played a bass through both? I really don't
 have room in my place for a decent sized practice amp, so either it's
 buy an amp and move apartments, buy a bass v-amp or live with what i
 have. I mostly listen through headphones anyway... it keeps my gf
 happier. So should i go for a bass v-amp? 
 Can't you listen before buying?

 yeah.... ;) I was first trying to gain some ideas from the all wise
 and knowing crew here. It's mostly is the bass v-amp a decent option
 compared to an real bass amp given that would involve finding another
 apartment ;) I'm scared listening to many bass amps in case i really
 like one. I was also pretty sure someone on lau/lad has both... bass
 v-amp and normal.

 With the bass V-amp being inexpensive, compared to a new apartment, rig,
 or gf ;), it may not be a bad investment.
 I have a the V-amp pro which I use for Bass and Guitar.  I run my bass
 through a patch with the tube pre-amp and a little bit of compression,
 and I am quite happy with it.  If I have a gig where I can run direct
 through a PA, it sounds great (and beats hauling a ton of gear).
