Artists that need more gear!

A lot of users around here love gear-spotting, and even more so when they're doing so for an artists that have yet to be filled out. Well, by popular demand, in the review page there's a new queue:

Artists Needing Gear

These artists - filterable by whatever roles & genres you want - are being searched for, yet are a bit light on gear, and need your expert eyes and ears to populate them.

Give it a try, and as always if there are any obvious improvements we could make to it we'd love to hear about them. Happy gear hunting!

Well, by popular demand, in the review page there's a new queue:

Who was the populace demanding the return of this section? Just curious.

These are artists with < 5 gear entries, ranked by # of clicks their profile has received over some recent timeframe, correct?

Performance note: when I select the Electronic tag, and hit Filter the results take upwards of 20 seconds, in both Chrome and Firefox... No such delay if i choose Guitarist and then hit Filter.

I just tried it and had a similar experience. While it appeared to filter them right way my browser was just sitting there thinking so I couldn't do anything with the list.... tried it in chrome and edge. Only on electronic artists.

Hmm, thanks for the feedback. Alright I shall take a look.

It returns! I missed this.

It returns! I missed this.

Aha! The demanding populace reveals themselves. :D

Ok, performance issues improved... I hope!?

And yeah pkennethk you pretty much nailed it regarding the way it works under the hood. Regarding who is asking, our email volume is pretty high. We try to direct questions, complaints, and feedback to the forum here but many still prefer to speak to us in private ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Confirmed fixed on my side. Thank you!

THAT is surprising. Email? Stop hiding from the daylight, you cowards! (kidding... sort of...)

... but if people wanted it bad enough to email, then props to you guys for bringing it back, better than before. :)

email? people still use email for things other than work and managing their iLok etc?

Equipboard's volume of email is actually quite absurd.

The high email volume has got to be some kind of positive business indicator, so I'm happy about that... but I'm sorry to learn you and Michael have to devote so much time each week to reading and responding. Y'all have a business to run.

I actually never sent an email about this, haha.

Okay I'll have just a quick question: Why is there a page dedicated to Riley Reid?! https://equipboard.com/pros/riley-reid And there's a bass submitted which was taken from some random pic of her holding a bass. Is this some kind of legit joke :))))) ??

With no disrespect to Ms. Reid and any musical ambitions she may have, it's likely just someone having a laugh.

The "Artists Who Need More Gear" section is ranked by # of page views, as confirmed above. So maybe a better question is: why is Riley Reid's profile the 7th most-visited profile with less than 5 pieces of gear?!?

Last year, Robert Downey Jr.'s profile was high on this same list... until someone assigned him more gear. It seems if your name is googled a lot, as Ms. Reid and RDJ's certainly are, your Equipboard page gets more visits too... even if music isn't what you're primarily known for... I guess?

I'll drink to that
