Apparently the updated version started shipping in May 2007 but there may still be older inventory in the supply chain.
 
=== Ordering ===
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
