According to the specs, it seems to have a 1M ohm input, so it should be
good (not "optimal" though) for a bass / guitar. Also, you can try the
drive on the preamp as an effect for the bass. It will (surprise,
surprise) work like i explained with the "tube (pre)amp emulation"
plugins.. :)

Then you might be expecting quite a lot! :)
As there is no "out-of-the box guitar/bass cabinet simulator" LADSPA
plugin and thus, you'll have to know a bit of what you are doing. I'm
not saying that you need a huge amount of experience & knowledge, the
willingness to learn is more than enough.
With the current plugins we have, Linux audio has huge potential for
building your own "amplifier" and "tone shaping/bending" processors.
Just don't expect it to sound "groovy" with the presets! (lol, like we
would have presets!) But my main point was this = you will not get the
"stadium rock sound" by simply plugging in your bass. You probably need
a combination of a compressor, eq, delay/chorus/reverb etc. to get the
sound you want. Maybe even more processing, maybe less.
Have fun, that's the most important part.
..And enjoy your new toys!
