I would be appreciative of any advice for recording killer bass guitar. I have a Kemper lunchbox, a UAD Apollo Twin Duo interface and I'm recording into Logic.Pro X. There seem to be numerous ways; using a direct signal, using the Kemper bass profiles, a mix between the two, or adding something like a Sansamp bass driver. Any help cutting through the confusion would be very welcome!

More details may be needed for people to give you some informed suggestions:
The main question is likely - What style(s) of music? The style of music typically defines the types of bass tones that are typically used.

Whatever you do, good idea to make sure you record a second, simultaneous direct clean track into LPX.
Then you can make use of the LPX bass models which aren;t half bad! -
I always got great results DI'ing the bass and then using Ampeg SVX plugin.... You could run the Kemper with the Direct out plus a toppier, distorted sound via main output, then, when mixing blend it with the DI signal which is processed thru Logic or Ampeg amp sim or even revamp the DI back into the Kemper and EQ the more bassier tone
whilst mixing...
