Mostly DI plus something from either the 47fet family or Large dynamic.

I spent years both mic'ing and taking a DI from bass and eventually realized the DI was more than enough for most stuff I did (was tracking to 16-track tape so often had to decide which to ditch or if it was worth comping them together). Some of the best session players I ever tracked simply asked for DI (API) with the smallest hint of 1176.
Sometimes amp tone is key (I do love me an Ampeg B15) but like anything that's a small world of possibilities so the when I do mic, it could be RE20, D112, 421 or 57 for distorted tones.
