What if I want to add a custom bass?

Is it possible for me to add a custom bass even though there wouldn't be any link for it online. It would be like: Custom Fender P Bass 1990s. And then pictures of it.

GEAR:
  • Fender Champion 20
  • Fender Parts Precision Bass- "Swallow"
  • 1989 Squier II Stratocaster

Hey Breeze!

The P Bass you want to add is for your own Equipboard, not an Artist submission, correct?

If so, users have 2 options:

  1. Use a P Bass entry that's already in the database, then upload a Gear Photo of your customization to your profile. You can tag the photo with the bass entry to link the two, and your customization will effectively get top-billing in your profile.

  2. Build your GearIQ up to 500, then you'll get access to a manual override for item submissions that will allow you to add without limitations.

In general, it's better for the health of the gear database if the item entries are more generalized, because it's more helpful for people to see that both Tim Henson and John Petrucci have played a Music Man JP6 than it is to have a separate entry for every possible color, year, and fretboard config of the Music Man JP6... but when it comes to your own gear, everyone understands that folks want to show off the hard work they've put into mods and upgrades.

Also, I was rocking your Soundcloud while I replied, some great tracks there. I wish wish I had the chops you've developed. Especially on Swallow and The Eagle Will Land.
