Gear Photo Pages just got a major upgrade

We've leveled up gear photos to make exploring setups way more interesting. On any photo with tagged gear, you'll now see:

  • Pro artists with overlapping gear - see which Equipboard artists own the same gear as the uploader, ranked by how distinctive the matches are
  • Rig breakdown - total rig value, where the spend goes by category and brand, plus a price-tier mix so you can tell at a glance whether it's mostly budget, mid, or boutique
  • Boldest pick - when there's a sleeper item in the rig (well-regarded but few pro artists own it), we call it out
  • Better matching for similar gear photos - the "More gear photos" slider now finds setups that share actual gear with you, not just the same hashtags

GEAR:
  • EarthQuaker Devices Westwood
  • Fender '57 Custom Champ
  • Fender American Original '50s Telecaster

Very nice. 😎

My favorite adds so far:

  1. Endless scroll browsing for the main photos page. SO MUCH better.
  2. Boldest pick is amazing.

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

Does anyone else think it's strange that the main breakdown is called "Spend by Category"?

It's like Equipboard's version of a Zestimate... but, like a Zestimate, it's the current estimated value, not what that person actually spent.

Any of us that have studio monitors that are 5+ years old, we spent a lot more on those than they're probably worth now, and any of us that have vintage items we've held for a long time probably spent way less than the current value.

  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer

So you'd suggest rephrasing it as "Gear Value by Category" or something clearer?

GEAR:

"Value by Category" would take up about the same amount of room, but that's just one person's opinion. It would be cool to see if anyone else has thoughts. Thanks!

an't that the truth, I can't give my events away and I got a not-blown pair of tanoy pb6es for under 100 bucks when I missed my blown set... although sometimes vintage cancels out monitor devaluation like with the NS10s, B&W nautilisuses and the desireable tannoy dual-concentrics, especially if they have those Manley mastering units with the good crossovers and stuff... we're both prime examples of holding stuff for decades as is my old friend shok who sometimes turns up on the forum, I'm not even sure if he paid for his arp2600! But I'm also an example of someone who gets free or cheap stuff, old and new. I'm a notorious bottom feeder when shopping. People just give me broken sh!t sometimes and I fix it if I can. Clients give me gifts and I also get demo units to keep sometimes (shok still has a very early virus A he got as an evaluation unit)... that setup value kinda makes me look like a rich dude when I am not, I'm just in this gear thing on a whole different level than most folks

I would like to refer to it as retail value?
