If you need to play through headphones on a budget and have an interface and DAW I'd look at the software route. Check out whatever free stuff comes with your DAW and if you're not happy with it then you can start looking at paid alternatives. I like Ampeg SVX for most sounds and Studio Devil Bass Pro for the more aggressive rock/metal stuff. But mostly when I practice bass at home I just stick it through my Roadster.

All good suggestions so far, I'd also suggest an older Zoom B2, which should be fairly cheap. I think you can even still use that as an audio interface too.
Was thinking headphones because I'd be worried slap bass would destroy my speaker - it's a Sheffield, but it's about 15 years old or more. I also like some fuzz on a bass for muse esque riffs... Maybe not a good idea? I really don't know.
I'll fire up the pod in the meantime though.
I got one of those Vox amphones Twin headphones for my birthday and was surprised at how well it works on bass as well. It has an aux input for your iPod etc and you can have some fx if you so wish, but I turn them off and it's a stellar bass tone. You don't even need a lead, unless you hook up to an aux source and even then it's only a mini-jack to mini-jack. Battery life (2 X AAs) is very good. If you switch it off, they work as decent, regular headphones.
Chappells on Bond St, now Yamaha Music, were knocking these out for nearly half price.
I've just bought a Zoom B3 and first impressions are that it's a great unit, plus as ICBM says, you have the basic rhythms and looper to play around with, but the core bass models are great, let alone all the fx.
