Yes!

It's ok, many times we don't know more than that. Indeed, there were some moves by the admins grading down the precision level of specific gear, as far as I can remember there was a move once that deleted Vox AC30 combos of specific series to point them out as a whole generic amplifier, which is even worse than what you regret considering that you can still choose between a lot of Fender Stratocaster options.

Strange... I remember submitting gear based on a picture of the guitarist in studio with his gear...

Ah well, time to spam EB with new gear.

WHY

Please... somebody please tell me WHY THIS IS ON A MUSIC SITE?!

This needs to be categorised.

Please... somebody please tell me WHY THIS IS ON A MUSIC SITE?!

When Equipboard started, we were testing out the idea of cataloging everything everyone uses be they musicians, athletes, chefs, archers, or whatever profession. We're musicians, and music is what most of the people who found Equipboard were interested in, so we stopped asking for non-music submissions. We've just yet to remove non-music submissions.

Also, you rock for continuously pointing out the many things that need attention. We're working on making it so anyone can fix those things. So even though I'm not actively fixing each thing you're pointing out, you're really helping to surface the things that should be a priority for us. Thanks for that!

OK, that explains.

Do you need those random objects pointed out, or should we just wait?

EDIT: http://equipboard.com/pros/dntel/vermona-retroverb-lancet?src=submission

My mistake, this needs to be removed from Dntel's rig.

http://equipboard.com/items/digitech-harmony-man

This needs to be categorised as an effect pedal. Also, probably rewritten as "Digitech HM2 HarmonyMan Intelligent Pitch Shifter".

http://equipboard.com/items/rode-k2-microphone

Needs to be categorised as an actual mic, not just an accessory.

This... I am without words. The fact that somebody had the energy to categorise it, yet put it in HEADPHONES?! Astounding...

I wouldn't make it all open to ANYONE. That would make us susceptible to bored teenagers who want to ruin the site or other gear sites to delete all that they can.

^ Agreed

http://equipboard.com/items/cad-joe-satriani-guitar-amp-mic-pack

Needs to go in the microphone category

I know brother. I've been down that road too. It will be fixed eventually. I used to get outraged by the idea that "Oh look. Chappers is standing in a room that has a clarinet... THAT'S HOW HE GET'S DAT TONE YALL!" What we had to start doing is placing #Product-Demo in all the gear he doesn't actually own for later deletion or re-organization. Just like how we have pages for fishermen and all the rods and reels they endorse, the concept that this place serves to show how the musicians get the tone and not so much what gear they have touched hadn't come into full bloom yet. I blame the point system to be honest. It's like how kids will play the same level in a game over and over to unlock some 30 point achievement.

Something else that will get done eventually is replacing individuals years of models with the series name. As an example,

1962 Fender Strat 1962 Strat Fender 1962 Fender Stratocaster 1962 Fender Strat (Red) 1962 Fender Strat Custom 1970 Fender Strat

will all become

Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

1962 Fender Strat 1962 Strat Fender 1962 Fender Stratocaster 1962 Fender Strat (Red) 1962 Fender Strat Custom 1970 Fender Strat

will all become

Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Careful there, Boom. The year a guitar is made is still very important as well as the type of model, such as custom. However, discriminating colours and the order of words would work fine.

Well, what the owner prefers (At least who I think the owner is) prefers that the models be generalized in the Spotted section and the details of year, color, customization, etc be posted only in the paragraph for the actual artist. Like this...

Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Proof : In Pudding

Body: Jon Banananas, the lead guitarist of the band Electric Mustard, is well known for using the Fender Stratocaster as seen here in this live performance at Jazzfest. He is most seen with a 1921 Fender Stratocaster EZ-Rii-Der with red binding and has been known to sport a See-through acrylic 2016 Fender Strat Custom.

I'll also add that many members really missed out on the opportunity to flesh out their favorite artists before. Before when we had to accept submissions, more often than not all the info we would be given is

"Clearly seen in photo" "Clearly used in video"

The body is really the time when you can share little tid bits and unknown details about your favorite artists' gear. People may not know that they get that distinct sound fron using a 1x18 tube with 4 3004.45x tubes. Clearly I know nothing of tubes... but you get my point.

Ah, that makes more sense.

Definitely gonna have to renovate the entire site for that, but OK.

Indeed. Whenever I come across a bunch of items that can be lumped into one category, I mark them down. The idea being to merge them. That way the 4 artists who use a Fender Jazz and the 15 artists who use a Fender Jazz BASS, and the 2 artists who use a Jazz Bass Fender will all be linked into one model. It will be such a sweet thing to see.
