My only comment is because it's true to the models you have to use the separate (but always visible) module volume control at the bottom of the plugin window, since the volume controls on the models are interactive with the sounds. But that's not really an issue just an observation.
The deep low end you can get out of these sims is really nice, feels good to play through. I don't have any complaints other than I wish they'd modelled a few bass distortion/overdrives to go with the pack, since that's one area where something like Helix Native is offering more than Amplitube. I figure there's scope to do this via the custom shop one day, and I hope they do.
I've also been using it with Cytomic's The Scream (Tubescreamer Sim) before the SVX 2 amps - the mix control, along with the high and low pass filters (in the mod section) mean it's pretty straight forward to get a range of overdriven and gritty bass sounds.

There have been people having upgrade issues as per this thread.

I'm running the 3 day demo out first so won't upgrade until it's finished, hopefully all issues sorted by then

I've had a quick play and it's sounding good. Maybe I'll use it for this month's RRotm entry and use my bass.
I think they're better sounding than the models in SVX 1, I've not played through any of these as real amps but just in terms of what I can get out of them I really like SVX2 and will definitely be picking it up after my trial expires.
I've also found that in Logic you can use splits on the Pedalboard plugin to get a mix knob type of setup going. You can also split by frequency if required. Between that, Cytomic's The Scream, and TSE's BOD (which was recently updated to version 3) I'm pretty happy for ITB bass sounds.
I've bought it. I think these have the nicest clean and deep low end out of any bass sim I've tried. The V4B is my favourite, can really get some room shaking low end out of it. Took me a little while to get the hang of the SVT VR but I think all the amps sound good.

The Scream's highpass and lowpass settings, and the mix knob, make for a great and pretty versatile bass overdrive. Amplitube's drive pedals lack a mix option, and honestly I think The Scream sounds better than the Tubscreamer in Amplitube 4 anyway (and Helix Native, for that matter).
SVX2 uses IK's newest 'Dynamic Interaction Modelling' and the only other pack that currently uses that is Fender 2. I'll have a go on Fender 2 at some point... but based on SVX2 having some really nice clear low end, I'm hoping they re-visit some of the higher gain amps with the new modelling technology. There are plenty of Mesa amps left to do for a Mesa 2 collection for starters, and given Fender's tie in with EVH, I wonder if they could do an EVH model at some point too.
