Hmm, that's strange. The XLR out on mine has no effect on the signal to the cab. Did you use the XLR out or the 'send' jack? I assume the FX loop is in series so taking a feed from the Send output would most probably kill the signal to the speaker. Aled

Why not try connecting the iPad to a small stage monitor/powered PA cab?

Great, will have a read of that new. I bought it as I was looking for a compressor a pedal and a subtle room reverb for bass, and realised that the Zoom was cheaper than two decent pedals. I have a few songs in sets requiring and octaver, and one with spring reverb/tremolo, and the Zoom seems to have that covered as well... so I sold my tuner, octaver, Boss FDR1 and a few other pedals, bought the B3 and I'm a good few quid up! As much as I'm loving the Fliptop model, I didn't buy for the amp emulations, it's just that I haven't got round to plugging into my gigging set up yet (Orange OTB and SP212). I don't think I'll need the models for live work as I like the Orange. For direct recording though, it's looking to be ace!

Cheers! So far, I think it's bloody great, and I haven't really moved from the Ampeg Fliptop model, and barely any effects!

Just found this [url="http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=56497"]http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=56497[/url] Seems I'm stuck with. I'll check my Jazz one just in case that'll fit.

Afternoon, i've just bought a pickup cover for my new Precision, as well as a gold anodized scratchplate. Both are genuine Fender parts, but the cover is too big for the holes in the scratchplate (the plate has pre-drilled holes for the cover and a tug bar). I think the plate is a 50s spec one - did the use smaller pickup covers back then? Where do I get them?!

...and a quick bash with the looper. These toys are fun! [url="https://soundcloud.com/#melynwy/bass-looper-demo"]https://soundcloud.com/#melynwy/bass-looper-demo[/url]

Quick and dirty sound clip: [url]https://soundcloud.com/melynwy/bass-demo[/url] Apologies for the sloppy playing. Still getting to grips with roundwounds!

It's awesome. Absolutely fantastic. I'm even liking the stock rounds (having played the same set of flats for 3 years!) The Zoom B3 that arrived this morning seems to be the best use of £150 ever as well. Stock (sorry about the large photos!): New scratchplate:

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1358460257' post='1939805'] Expensive... But cheaper than the competition. [/quote] You think so? I think it's ridicilously cheap for what it is! I'd love one.

Couldn't agree more - about reviews and shop assistants. Last time I asked to try a bass in a shop, the guy spent a good 2 or 3 mintues slapping the thing with his back turned to me. By all means plug it in, sound a note to check everything's working, but then hand it me. I could have walkes out and he wouldn't have noticed. I'd never expect a sports shop assistant showing me how far he can drop kick a rugby ball I'm thinking of buying, so the need by music shop assistants to show off really annoys me. I don't care what they do outside of work - at the time that I'm contact with them they're sales assistants, not rock stars. And most review videos I see online are bloody useless. Though I do like that Ed Friedland chap's reviews.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1359975410' post='1962619'] No, but they had purple ones! [/quote] Hmmm. Do Orange do purple amps then? If not, I'm sure they will once they see this.

Cool. Did they have orange ones?!

In 6 months I've completely changed my bass rig. Got the Orange Terror Bass and SP212 back then, and now a new Fender P on the way, as well as this new Zoom. Will post thoughts when it gets here. Exciting times.

Ordered!!

Will be ordered tomorrow hopefully, alongsied a set of LaBella 760M - the 'Jamerson' super heavy gauge set - I'm I justified in my confidence that they will be fine seeing as the bass has one of those graphite truss rods? I'm no good at tweaking truss rods.

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1359278061' post='1952285'] Gotta be gold. Have you though about an off white though? Like the parchment colour or the Greeny one? [/quote] I think the stock one is parchment. I'm starting to like the black now though...
