:Well, it's official. We've started work on a gig bag for the B1, based on your valuable feedback. <br />

This will take us at least eight weeks to design, test, build, and stock, so please be patient.

:Without getting into boring technical details, the volume spike thing seems to be a resetting of the remote control to which the knobs go to 12 o'clock for a brief moment. So if you either don't use the remote OR keep the remote knobs at 12 o'clock you should never hear a volume spike.

A few owners and regular forum contributors have been extraordinarily helpful in helping us track down this unusual bug, and we send out a huge thanks to them.

: B1 Carry Bag Update

: It was here on this message board that we found out that you, our customers, would really like a carry bag or some sort of protection for the B1 Bass Module product. In November 2003 we began work on a design. It has taken up to NOW to get new product included with B1 cass module carry bags. As seen in a rendering earlier in this thread, they are really a nice "slip cover" to go over your B1 Bass Module. It's constructed so the same beefy handle can be used to carry the product, now just under a cover.

=== January: Larry Lambert & Rick Jordan at the Bose Auditorium ===

[[Image:larry_rick_temp_-_08.jpg|thumb|January 2008 Larry Lambert & Rick Jordan at the Bose Auditorium]]

* 2008/01/04

Bose Corporation is pleased to host two outstanding musical artists from the Appalachian South as part of their Cornucopia concert series in the Corporate Center auditorium.

If you enjoy beautiful songs beautifully rendered by voice and guitar, you are in for an exceptional evening of music by two seasoned professionals playing individually and together.

Hailing from Lexington Kentucky, Larry Lambert has been a singer most all of his life, performing solo for the first time at the age of four. Church and school were the training grounds and Larry sang at every opportunity in these venues.

Larry is a ballad singer. His repertoire includes many songs, old and new, from many different genres and writers, most all with a down home common sense message or story that can be told time and time again.

He’s shared the same stage with Don McLean, The Dirt Band, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, Bobby Bare and others. These and other artists such as Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Kristofferson, Dylan, Lightfoot, Billy Joe Shaver, JJ Cale, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Jr. and Sr. have all influenced his singing style and song selection, but still, everything comes out distinctly Larry in a style that crosses the boundaries of gospel, country, folk, bluegrass, blues and old time rock and roll.

Rick Jordan is minister of music at Thomasville Georgia’s First Baptist Church. In addition to his church work, Rick performs as an entertainer throughout the country and internationally.

Rick’s repertoire includes country and folk songs, 50’s music, showtunes, hymns and original compositions.

We plan to have other Bose message board luminaries perform in future concerts.

+* 2008/01/04
+<blockquote>
+Bose Corporation is pleased to host two outstanding musical artists from the Appalachian South as part of their Cornucopia concert series in the Corporate Center auditorium.
+If you enjoy beautiful songs beautifully rendered by voice and guitar, you are in for an exceptional evening of music by two seasoned professionals playing individually and together.
+Hailing from Lexington Kentucky, Larry Lambert has been a singer most all of his life, performing solo for the first time at the age of four. Church and school were the training grounds and Larry sang at every opportunity in these venues.
+Larry is a ballad singer. His repertoire includes many songs, old and new, from many different genres and writers, most all with a down home common sense message or story that can be told time and time again.
+He’s shared the same stage with Don McLean, The Dirt Band, John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, Bobby Bare and others. These and other artists such as Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Kristofferson, Dylan, Lightfoot, Billy Joe Shaver, JJ Cale, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Jr. and Sr. have all influenced his singing style and song selection, but still, everything comes out distinctly Larry in a style that crosses the boundaries of gospel, country, folk, bluegrass, blues and old time rock and roll.
+Rick Jordan is minister of music at Thomasville Georgia’s First Baptist Church. In addition to his church work, Rick performs as an entertainer throughout the country and internationally.
+Rick’s repertoire includes country and folk songs, 50’s music, showtunes, hymns and original compositions.
+We plan to have other Bose message board luminaries perform in future concerts.
