How to improve the sound of a bass when playing with Guitar rig (software)?
Sound is very moody and unclear.
When I choose a Bass Amp from the list, even with all high frequency knobs (mid, hi, and presence) turned up in their highest position, it still sounds like underwater.
I connect my guitar straightly to a "line in" input on my motherboard (I use standard motherboard audio, no additional sound card module), without DI boxes or whatever stuff.
Here's the plot of the spectrum:
When I hit only one (lowest) 'E' string (with all amps eqs and compressors turned off, just clean signal as it goes from 'line in'):
Should I get a DI box or some additional equipment?

You should never connect a guitar straight in to a Line-In connection.
Line-in is around 1 Volt (in reality, audio signals are rated in dB and line levels can be in a range but 1V is a useful reference point)
Guitars output somewhere around 150mV so you really need to put a pre-amp in the chain. A pre-amp will also sort out your impedance matching (which in your case is probably cutting a lot of your higher frequencies)
Simple answer - get a cheap pre-amp.
