Does it do bass tones?
Yes. It has one Ampeg amp so far.

Quick noob question: What would be a better investment, Pod HD Pro or Pod HD Desktop? I would mainly be using it for recording and occasionally live (so which would be cheaper to set up and play live?)
Currently I use Pod Farm with the UX1 and it appears the tones on the HD series are light years ahead.

If you are planning on playing live then the cheapest (and simplest) way to go (In most cases) would be to just get an HD500. I was going to get a HD Pro and the shortboard MKII but then decided to save $400 and just get the HD500
Okay, and are there any differences between the Pd HD Desktop and the HD500?
Here's the results of my experiment! https://soundcloud.com/kane-wolf/all-new-materials-tone-test
Tone is up on my custometone
Nice, a lot better than everything I tried. However, I still cant get past the thinness. Maybe Im spoiled from my XXX's amazing, full clean tone. I just cant get anything to sound good clean from the POD...well the way I want it anyways. My EMG 85 in my Les Paul sounds a bit better than my Schecter Garza, but still too bleh
Or combining the Flip Top (bass amp) with the Treadplate can give a very nice grinding bass tone.
In regards to the JSX, I put my POD HD in front of my XXX at a live gig as a last resort one time(long story).
And it actually sounded really good. I had the XXX on a totally clean sound. The Cleans of the POD with their nice effects finally sounded full and well, good, from the tubes.
Also, the distortion had lots of body and cut through the mix very nicely.
Of course you need your patch to be tweaked for being in front of an amp!
