you can now tag color/finish and year. You can pick a specific year or a decade.

Yes, yes, yes Great !

Soon-ish, we’ll be rolling this out so you can tag color and year when saving gear to your own Equipboard profile.

Also Great One.

Would love your thoughts or ideas on how you’d want to see that displayed. This is one of those updates that seems small but actually opens a lot of doors for making Equipboard more accurate (and way more interesting going forward 😎).

I think for Color in your own Equipboard you should be able to switch to the right Picture, not just choose the Tag of the Color. But that might be very complicated, so a lot got on their Equipboard the same Guitar but displayed and choose to have a different Picture that is displayed and saved to their Profile.

Gibson ES-325
4.5 (21)
1 Review
Color/Finish: Walnut
Year: 1972

Looks good for me on that Page. Yes there are Millions of different colors like: Fiesta Red, Candy Red, Vintage Red, Chrome Red, Wine Red , Walnut ... we need to do this as a Textfield , not as checkbox
There is a Way for checkbox but will be complicated , just do Colors like White, Black , Green, Red, Blue ,Orange, Multi Color, Brown, Pink, Purple as Overall Match you can checkbox then, you can see that on some Websites on Clothes in Search Options, but i would say more no to that ....

But it will look Extreme with an Item got many Years and Colors like:
Gibson ES-325
4.5 (21)
Color/Finish: Walnut , Black, Red, Sunburst, Tabacoburst , Yellow, Green, Black, White, ..
Year: 1972 , 1973, 1974, 1975 , 2000, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
It might eat up the space there is.
Years we might bring down like: 70s Era , 70ties , '70 ...
But Color we can not I think , on some Items there might be 20 color variations.
And to say some might have very long names like: Lake Placid Blue Metallic Sparkle or 3-Tone Sunburst with Vintage Aged Finish , or Antique Olive Pearl over Aged White with Gold Sparkle , Translucent Cherry Sunburst with Aged Nitrocellulose Finish , Faded Pelham Blue Gloss over Mahogany Body , Fiesta Red Metallic Sparkle with Gloss Nitro Lacquer ....

Soooo you might need to Code that on some pages the Color is not displayed or just the 1st one and other Color Variations after that by etc. or ...
like:
Gibson ES-325
4.5 (21)
Color/Finish: Walnut , etc.
Year: '70 , etc.
And on the Item Page itself all the Eras , like under Years or Era: '70 , '80, '90 or 70ties , 80ties ...
And on the Item Page itself all the colors , like under Color Variations: Red, Green, Black, White, Blue , ...

We need then also Infos for the People doing a new Item like: "Info just name the Era like '70 , exact years into the Description" Textfield Years:
and for Colors Info: "Keep Color Names as short as possible like: Trans Red, without Aged, without Tecnic like Nitrocellulose , full color into the Description" Textfield Color:

On the Item Page: https://equipboard.com/items/gibson-es-325
Maybe After the Name , it might say then: Gibson ES-325 Walnut 70ties and after that #65 in Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars
But better a Separate One after: "$2,750.00 High-end/Boutique 4.5 (21) 1 Review Reverb See more "
Separator ----
Color Variations: Red , Blue , Green ....
Separator ----
Eras: '70 , '80, '90 .....
Separator ----
This product is Vintage or Discontinued

But hard to say !!!! Some Items might have a lot of years added and colors you got then: 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 2003, 2020 and Black, Red, Yellow, Sunburst, Natural, Cherry ... it will end up in a very big listing , some Items be better just maybe 2 Colors and one year it was produced.

Another Idea to Color Tag: We might wanna color even years Typo , like the older it is , the more redish it will become and match the Red Vintage Sign and when it is: about 2020 it gets green color saying: 2025 in Green , 2000er would be yellow Typo awww ok yellow burns the eyes down lets skip it wtf sorry, 80ties and 90ties Orange Typo, 70ties 60ties ... or even later red in Color Typo. Or maybe just ask for: "is it Taged Vintage" when yes: do Years in Red Color , when not: do it in Green Color.

So we got then a Color Indicator for the ones looking for an Item and how hard it is to get it, also a Color Indicator for Vintage Fans.

Yes jimmarchi1 said it all, Soundsgarden Tone is based on the Amps, Kim Thayil uses only Pedals to boost the Amps and Live on stage he does switch Amps between a Mesa/Boogie Electra-Dyne Head and a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. He does use Live MXR the Custom Audio Electronics MC-402 Boost/Overdrive and the MXR MC401 Boost/Line Driver just to push the Amps. Live on Stage he replaced the Leslie with the Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII The Analog Leslie Simulator, of course not so good as a real Leslie. For Experimental stuff he does use often the POG , a Dunlop MC404 CAE Wah Pedal and Technics playing behind the Guitar Bridge. https://equipboard.com/pros/kim-thayil?gear=amplifiers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEl7u9Z3lK0

Jonny Greenwood is very different to Kim Thayil, Jonny uses a lot of Pedals doing very different Jobs and Amps more as a Pedal Plattform and not so much as a Gain Stage and I think you got already a good starting Point with the Fender also when I never played a Tone Master , but I think it can also do the Gritty Gain Stuff ?
The main Sound is by reverb and delay using the Roland Space Echo Tape Machine mostly over everything , Live sometimes the Boss Pedal Version of that and a lot of Electro-Harmonix Pedals like the Polychorus, Small Stone, Mistress , Freeze ... to build a very wide and big Sound. For weird sounds Envelope Filter , Pitch Fork , Whammy , Tremulator, EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids, combined with Delay , Fuzz, Overdrive or even more Reverb. And he does use Loopers , to layer more Guitars playing different Stuff. https://equipboard.com/pros/jonny-greenwood?gear=effects-pedals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWKYP1oZY7w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTUgjC-1rfs

The Things both got in common is just some short weird Sounds created by Wah , Pitch .. combined with Gain , Fuzz, Delay and Reverb. You Equipment is already a very good Starting Point .... for Gain like already said its very different Kim Thayil uses extrem pushed Gain Amps, Radiohead uses very different Gain Stages Fuzz , Overdrive , Distortion by Pedals like Boss Overdrive to push the clean Amp , Fuzz for heavy gain, Boss Distortion like Nirvana and so on .... There is not really a so called 90ties Distortion Tone everyone did use, this is the Time where you still got very High Gain Amps used also in Rock, Grunge .... not only in Hair Metal and Trash Metal , but also Bands using a clean Amp more as a Pedal Plattform, but mostly high Quality Gain comes from Amps not so much from Pedals, when you play mostly Gain driven music , it is better to find Amp matching your Tone of Gain you like , when you play also a lot of clean with also effects are based on a clean sound , there is also a lot possible to consider as 90ties Distortion Tone it is not just the Boss Distortion , there are also Pushed clean Amps with a Tube Screamer or Overdrive, the Rat Pedal very extreme dirty aggressive Distortion, Fuzz Pedals on lower Gain settings , Kobain even used special Speakers in his Cabinet with a Power Amp on Stage, the Speakers were important to his Gain Sound , Smashing Pumpkins Gain was also on High Gain Amps and mostly on Big Muffs , it was not just the Boss Distortion Pedal there were a lot of different possible sounds in the 90ties with different ways to achieve a Gain Stage. Also to say on a Record there is also Stuff used from the Studio , the Bands did not use on Stage , different Amps mostly to get more Quality to the Gain Stage and Live solved a different way , the Quality does not so much matter anymore and gets lost , to play Live is not a HiFi enviornment anymore.

You got already the MXR M69 Prime Distortion and the Plumes , giving you a good Gain Sound Pedalwise , on your whishing list is the Electro-Harmonix Op-Amp Big Muff Pi what makes sense, when you do not hit with that a Gain Stage you do like , it might be more to the Amp or the Tone you searching for is very Studio quality. When you wanna switch to a High Gain Amp and do a clean and High Gain , keep in mind that this is your Gain Stage so you choose exactly the right Amp you want and mostly it will get very Loud , yes you can still put effects on it , but to switch Amps on the pedalboard or to get of the Amp Gain and using Pedals instead is always a painful job on the Pedalboard. The Pro is you got much better quality of the Gain, the negative is less variation of the Gain is possible or gets more complicated, more used to Music got Gain most of the Time. The Clean Amp as Pedal Plattform gives you more different ways to use Gain by Pedals, but the Quality will mostly not be that great it will always sound a bit more LoFi-ish, you might also use more effects on the Gain like reverb and so on , but this is better when your music is not so much Gain Related all the time and more experimental and uses a lot more clean sections or Effects based on a Clean Amp. Also to say when you listen to a Band you hear very loud Amps and the Whole Band, so you got the felling there is more Gain or Distortion to it, but you can not do this by just turning up the Gain Knob on a Distortion Pedal, the settings on the Pedal are mostly much lower then People think they should be, otherwise it gets lost in Distortion and muddy or too dark.

Yes for Colors we might wanna have , that you can select the Picture of the Item for your Profile and Gear, so it shows up in the right Color. That would be great. Also holding more People up to create dublicates, of course it might will happen, but I think not so often anymore. Also better on Artist, so the Gear can be identify more easy. And an Edit to the Brand Logo would be great.

bubbajones asked for an Extra Listing of Gear for insurance purposes. Not so much for me , but for sure interessting for more People on Equipboard: https://equipboard.com/forums/general/topics/export-equipment-list

Ah ok, when this is not enough , you can also make in Gear a Section like Reorder for insurance purposes. And then just Print to .pdf just these Sites of this Gear a Section. Or in the Wishing List the Items you wanna reorder , and Print these last Pages to .pdf. But yes then you got still the Pictures.

But as Website Idea you might mention it in the next: "Equipboard Improvement and Idea Thread"
Like we had for August here: https://equipboard.com/forums/general/topics/equipboard-improvement-and-idea-thread-august-2025-edition I think it would be a good Idea , some wanna see got a lot of high valuable Gear and for People who are often on Tour with their Gear.
It might be done on an Extra Page then, where you can Mark the Gear is missing and then get a List with Prices and Reorder Option to it.
It will be very similar to the Wishing List , so most of the Functions are already on the Page.

I do know how to print to PDF and thanks for the tips… but that’s hardly a list… it’s a printout of the website isn't it?

Yes its the List you got on the Website already, so yes the Website List as File , what more do you need then ?
Purchase Invoices, you should not store in the web , you need to make copies of them and then add them to your List when it comes down to insurance purposes.

Is there a way to export your equipment list? I would like it for insurance purposes

You can ...
Open the Website you wanna have as File
Go in You Browser Menu on Print
then Choose Save as .PDF
All Pages and then just save it
and then you got the List as a .pdf File.
Open your PDF File and Check if its complete and fine.

Does this solve the Problem ? Sometimes you have even more Options over "Print" Like MS Office Files and so on ....

And when you need this on Paper, just normal Print to Printer.
When you do not got in your Print Option to "save it as .pdf" , just install a free PDF Program and it should work.
But as far as I know all Browsers got that Option already these days.

Yea Julian Krause goes very deep into Studio Gear technical and scientific , some also like: https://www.youtube.com/@AndrewChapmanCreative on Studio Gear and not gear but simple and alternative studio recording technics : https://www.youtube.com/@RobotDogStudio Here is a young , japanese cover band of Chatmochy and Mass of the Fermenting Dregs , who now did their own Songs under the Band Name: "When a Whale Dies" , I do follow and giving support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGuIWSQCJE4

And fun to watch is Drumeo , also when you are not a drummer, where drummers do not know the song and had to make the beat.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80lys4YdafM

For Guitar beginers wanna learn a simple but massive sounding Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L6cD-XbhwA

I would specially bass beginers also tell to learn this Song , but I still not found the right bass lines are played like natsuko does.

And this how its ends when japanese Bizz People come to visit Germany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45ldRFt0uYA And there is even a Part 2 of that going more insane, i do not wanna show, you have to search for yourself , hahahaha. So When you like Part 1 , Part 2 will make you even more happy.

Yea I can not Edit Brand Logos also not delete them. The Logo has to be 100x100 Pixels so it does fit , you can ask me doing a Logo next time.

Yea its better we do it , so most will not mess it up , like always there are People they Know this all Belongs to Fujingen, so they write Fujigen or FGN, we got the Most already under FGN Then there are People they do not know at all, so they write down whats on the Headstock like FGN or History. Best >Solution would be like on the ESP Ltd... and so on , we do FGN and FGN History, I think , so when someone types History might find FGN History , when someome types FGN he finds FGN and FGN History. Or we do it just History

But I will take care of all your requests which are still missing soon.
And double check my Work please when something is missing on the ones I made or wrong , please let me know thanks.

I notice another Brand Problem this is all the same Company from Japan:
Brand Owned by ´ Built by Country Notable Feature
History Shimamura Music (Japan) Fujigen Gakki (FGN) Japan Circle Fretting System, high-end craftsmanship
FGN Fujigen Gakki itself Fujigen Gakki Japan Own designs + legacy OEM experience

Most are Named on Equipboard: FGN , but there is also: FGN Shimamura Music History or Fujigen (FGN) and 2 Guitars Named only History without FGN.
On the Guitars it says somtimes FGN , sometimes History
What we are going to do ?
