I don't get the preset moaning thing.
If you use synth bass a lot, you're probably not the intended audience - FI4 or an actual key bass would make more sense....
If you're in a band where the whole band being on midi controlled effects sequenced to the click and needing midi control, it's probably not for you...
Occasional synth parts, and any band where there's a second between songs (when the guitarist is tuning?) to reach down and click onto your next preset... surely you'll be fine?
I really don't get the whole "Oh if only it had X" thing you see on here, and a lot on talk bass... "oh if it had X Y and Z I'ld be buying it" - well there are already products that do that get that instead. Most companies look to slim down the UX into something that is simple and usable. If you look at Source Audio for instance who tend to get lots of opinions and try and do them, they get criticised as they are too complex...
