Hi jdny
Can you give us some more info please. Which bass presets specifically are you trying? How are you coming out of your Mac and getting into your amp? Is it direct from ST4 to the interface, or is there other software in-between?
I've had a look at the '4001 Sunburst Bass Finger Amp' preset, turning the amp emulation off as I guess you've done if you're outputting to a real amp. Even at a moderate MIDI velocity of 70, the output is reading at around -4.0dBFS on the ST4 and Logic Pro X meters and is also showing that in the output meters for my audio interface, with all other digital faders at unity or zero.
By the time that gets output and equated to line level (x dBu) it should, in theory, be too hot for an instrument input on your bass amp so it's a bit of an interesting one if you're experiencing quiet levels.
