Scans: The Collected Works of Fender (1976)

Fellow Talkbassians,

A couple of weeks ago, I found an old Fender catalogue in the classifieds: The Collected Works of Fender (1976). It contains an overview of gear that Fender was offering at the time and also contains the *very cool* Fender Fairy tale ads. I'm bought it with the intention to cut out the original posters and use them as decoration in my living room. Yet, before I'd butcher this vintage booklet, I figured it would be nice to scan the catalogue and post it on the TalkBass forum online. I bet there are more people who either appreciate the artwork, or who would just like to look at the catalogue. Due to copyright, I checked with Fender if it's alright for me to upload a PDF of a scanned version of the catalogue, plus a PDF containing the fairy tale artwork. They said it was cool, so I wanted to upload the PDF's for all to enjoy. Only problem is that the thread says that the files are too large.

Anybody know of a way I can upload this on the forums for all to enjoy?

Peace!

 

Hey folks!

Thanks for suggesting file hosting! However, I don't know how long these files will remain active/available. I'm looking for a *relatively* permanent fix (Preferably some option through TB itself.) to prevent needing to keep uploading these every once in a while in order to keep them available.

In the meantime, here are filedropper links!

I encourage you to spread them over the web! I bet there's tons of people who'd like these for their rehearsal space or home!

 

I'll check it out! Thanks! It might take some time though. I don't own a scanner, so I used the scanner at my school for this. First I'm going to cut out the originals and get some frames for them. Once school starts again after the summer I'll see if I can scan them one by one and upload them in my Talkbass Media album. I'll restrict it to the artwork though, scanning the entire album takes up quite some time.

 

This is the problem I am trying to avoid. I do wish to share the catalogue, but I don't feel like reloading every once in a week. I'll put them up one more time, but I'll need a more permanent solution hereafter..

Google Drive should work!

Awesome! I'm glad everybody is enjoying these

Here's my own project! I used a small box cutter and cutting mat to carve out the artwork and put them in frames. When I said "butcher the catalogue" I really meant butcher it..

Edit: a typo.
