Advice on recording, please...

I'm playing my bass through a Phil Jones Double 4, using a mono line out, the cable split into two mono lines going into a Fostex FR2LE hard disk sound recorder. It works, and the sound is not bad, however it is very quiet. There isn't any way to up the output volume from the amp, other than turn the Master up and play loud. I'd rather not do that. I upload the sound file to my laptop, and in Wavelab bring up the volume to an acceptable level, and add a little reverb. But I think it would be better if the Line Out volume was higher in the first instance.

I also have a Phil Jones Bass Buddy somewhere in the house. I wonder if that could be utilised in some way?

Another solution would be to use the mic I have, a Rode NT4 stereo mic, in front of the amp speaker.

I've never recorded the bass before, and wonder how to get the best out of the equipment I have? Any thoughts will be appreciated.
