Thanks all for the replies - I'm going to give a couple of things a try. I run the power from an extension cord - will remove and try again. If no change, will run on a 9v to see if that improves, if so I will buy a new power lead.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1479720078' post='3178620'] It sounds like a noise gate or level issue. But you're not using a noise gate...are there any threshold related settings that you might need to pump up a bit? Other than that, it might be a dry solder joint somewhere. [/quote] I don't think there is any set, possibly! Will check and get back

Hi all, Recently been having an issue with my Zoom B3. I play a Fender P into the B3 (usually just into the M-Comp and tube screamer as a standard setting) into my Ashdown Klystron C210-500 combo. I've been finding that when I play a note to sustain, the signal seems to cut short very quickly and flick in and out quietly once it has hit no volume. With the Ashdown I can obviously see the VU meter and this also drops suddenly and then flicks in and out. Straight away I obviously turned off the compressor to rule out that my settings weren't terrible and squashing notes straight away, but this didn't help the problem either? Any help solving this puzzling (and very annoying) mystery would be much appreciated. Cheers, Carl

I've been playing bass for about 5 years and always loved the P-bass sound. A couple of months ago I was in the studio with my band when the Fender Starcaster I owned was stolen by some lucky git who must have chanced the door and got lucky! The guy producing us luckily was a bass player and kindly offered to bring in his bass, a 70s Fender P. I now own a 2004 MIA Fender P because, well, because.
