Has anyone used the Mothership with a Bass?

Has anyone tried out the new Pigtronix Mothership synth pedal with a bass yet? On their site they have some guitar demos, but no bass yet. Any sound samples? How does it track? I am looking to buy something soon with Tax return money and I am looking to see if this pedal works with bass!

There was a thread on this earlier. The consensus was that many people were not very impressed with it.

I did a search on the Mothership first, but not much first hand information was in the thread. Has anyone actually tried this pedal, and can they give a review of the tracking and the sounds that they were able to generate?

I think JohnDavisNYC said he'd tried it (at NAMM?) and was decidedly unimpressed. He didn't expand upon that much though. Maybe he'll be along to explain more.

a good friend of mine has one and I borrowed it for a while and was really hoping it would be good. The sub octave is really soft and indistinct, the oscillator is really thin and weak, the glide is BS (it glides from the bottom every note, regardless of your last note played...), but the ringmod part is cool. The tuning range on the oscillator is pretty wack, too.

I was dissapointed because I wanted it to be amazing.
