B1 Bass Module / New
B1 New/Old
On March 29th 2007 Bose® announced the Model II and the T1. At the same they change the specifications for the B1 showing the weight as 25.1 pounds (previously 28 pounds).
Apparently the updated version started shipping in May 2007 but there may still be older inventory in the supply chain.
How to Tell
The part numbers and descriptions of the revised B1 are the same as the original. Here is how you can tell the difference.
- If you call Guitar Center (GC) you can identify which B1 they have over the phone (if they can go look at the carton in back.)
- The older B1 says on the outside of the box 'Personalized Amplification System, Bass Module B1'. The box is also bigger, measuring 23"x15"x19"(LWH).
- The new style B1 says "L1 System, Bass Module B1" on the carton. The carton is also smaller, measuring 21.5"x13.5"x17"(LWH).
- There is no way to identify which B1 is which without physically looking at the box. The product # is the same
