Any tips on recording a octaved guitar as a bass?

[£ Î Z @ R Ð]

For this particular song I want to record tommorow, I'd like to use my six
string guitar to play the bassline using a Boss Octave pedal with the
following settings:

Signal - 50%
1st Octave (below) - 80%
2nd Octave (below) - 60%

My question is, should i record it through my guitar cabinet with mics as if
it were a guitar track (this is the way I usually record my guitars)? Or
should I send the signal to my bass head, and use that as a D/I box, as if
it were an actual bass guitar (that's how I usually record my bass)?

I'm' using a Fender Deluxe reverb for my guitar cab, and a G/K 1001 for my
bass head.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Record it both ways simultaneously. Gives you alot to work with.

I was actually thinking of this, but it would require me to get some sort of
a 1/4" Y-splitter. Will that degrade my signal at all?
