Upgrading from POD HD 500?

I was thinking of the POD HD Pro, I know it doesn't match up to the godly Axe-Fx II but it's really affordable. I'm looking for a rack setup, priority would be my studio work before shows but it works both ways I feel. I've got a couple of questions though. Would it work good for recording bass? I know it's perfect for guitar. I'm also thinking of using impulses with their amp sims, can I do that?

 

Lastly, do you think it's a good upgrade? Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

 

Thanks for reading.

    Re: Upgrading from POD HD 500?

    So do you have the HD500 already? I kind of assumed you did based on your title, but I'm not sure from what you wrote in the post. Going from the HD500 to the HD Pro is mostly a sideways move, although there are a few features that Pro has that the HD500 doesn't. Those are pretty much all related to the inputs and outputs available. As far as recording bass, yes, it can be done. There's a bass amp model in the HD series - the Ampeg Flip Top. As far as using impulses, you can't load impulses to the HD500, but you could do it in a DAW with a plug-in. You can easily record a tone with no cabinet selected from the Pro.
