You'll probably find some specific info about micing Contra bass's by sifting through this search link:

You'll probably want to run your mic through some sort of mic preamp first and then that could be connected to one of the Ampegs normal front inputs. (possibly the -10DB/try setting your mic preamp's output level very low to start out)
If your Ampeg has a Effects-return or a Poweramp-in jack, a better alternative might be conecting you mic pre through that instead to bypass the combos preamp and go directly to its poweramp stage/speakers (possibly with an external eq if you find the Ampeg's is also bypassed this way)
