Zoom B3 - USB cable, does it come with one?

[Osiris]

I've just received a new shiny Zoom B3.
Silly question, there's no USB cable with it to hook it up to my Mac - should it have come with one or do I need to buy one separately???
The manual makes references to 'the USB cable' suggesting that you get one bundled.

You have to supply your own. It was the same situation with my B9.1ut.

Cheers for the lightning reply, Howie!

Am I right in thinking that it needs to be USB A to USB B cable - [url="http://www.thatcable.com/product/USB-2-0-A-Male-to-B-Male-High-Speed-Cable-Lead"]like this one[/url] ?

That's what I use.

Great, thanks for the clarification, Grangur. I'll order one.

It seems silly to me that Zoom make a selling point of the unit being an audio interface and they bundle in some DAW software - but no means to access it straight out of the box?!?!

... I suppose they assume that most people have got a spare USB cable knocking about somewhere though it's always nice to have a thoughtful addition like that. Now, as for a bass to plug into it...

Those USB cables are odd. Lots of printers don't come with them either, despite needing one. I've no idea why not.

If there's a poundland near you they often have decent belkin ones. I'm not sure how much they cost though.

They're normally £3 in my local poundland!

I visited a town during the summer where a 99p store opened up undercutting poundland and taking away their monopoly of cheap crap, so poundland dropped their prices to 98p leading to the 99p store reacting by dropping to 97p. At the end of the week when I left, one of the shops was pricing everything at 95p, but I don't know how low they eventually got.
