I'm hoping maybe the guys from Fractal Audio read this as well. This will be set in three sections: Why I want one, why I haven't put down the money yet, and how they can improve/guarantee a sale to me.
Reasons I want an Axe FX:
•USB/Firewire Output
•Recording capabilities
•ENGL Powerball Model
•Various Guitar Cabs
•Various Cab Mics
•Portable
•Sounds realistic and would be my ONLY piece of gigging sound equipment
Reasons I have not put down the money yet:
•I am mainly a bass player, and it has almost nothing for bass
•Two amp models
•Three cab Models
•Not very many bass-oriented microphones
•Unable to model pre-amp to sound board w/PA modeling*
What Axe FX should add
•Gallien-Krueger 700RB-II or 1001RB-II or 2001RB Head models
•2001RBP PreAmp model
•Direct sound-board input model (as if plugging bass Direct Out from amps)
•PA System modeling for said sound-board modeling
•Hartke HyDrive 4x10, not their annoying Aluminum-Cone standard cabs
•GK Neo 2x12 and 4x10 cab models
•Models of one or just a few soundboards/mixers you can move around.
•Seriously, why no XLR inputs for mics or direct out from amps you haven't modeled?
•Maybe some DAW software so it can be used as an interface and not just a pre/processor plugged into an interface?*
I see Fractal Audio is plenty capable of releasing new models, as they just did, so I think one bass amp and one or two bass cabs wouldn't be too much to ask at all for my $2000. They completed skipped the entire category, it's as if they only considered vintage bassists. There is no modern stuff for bass. I hate the SVT, I have the SWR 115, I hate the SVT cab, and the Hartke 410 sounds like crap to my ears. Why nothing Modern like a GK rig? It's very unique from any other company out there.
The last two items and bold are not necessary but would seriously make the Axe worth a lot more in my eyes, and I'm sure they'd get plenty more sales if they did those.
*May be wrong on a section of statement.
Will guarantee my sale if things in bold are added. Let me even further add that I will sell my current bass equipment just so I can buy more equipment. Maybe some Atomic equipment, hmm?

PLEASE add:
•Modern Bass Amp & Cabinet Models
•Bass-oriented Microphone Models
•Knobs > Buttons
•Dry Input signal
•Output Volume Patch
