well, I have a variax bass.... it does a nice enough job of imitating the various things it's supposed to, but apart from the alembic, gibson & upright models, I'm pretty well catered for by the rest of my bass accumulation. the variax would be improved if it had-
 
a) a real pickup of it's own- maybe a p-bass type, just to blend in with the models & give it a bit of character
b) a slightly deeper & narrower neck (but that's just a matter of taste, I suppose, & comparing it with fenders & rickenbackers)
c) for sure, a GK-style interface. in fact, do away with the GK part & put an axon board inside the thing, so you can run it with a normal midi cable.
