Well, maybe. They probably lifted it from someone else. Nothing is sacred!
Agreed- the Pacer is in a league of its own, somewhere in a distant galaxy far, far away...
Pacer is here ->(somewhere)

We assembled one RHD Rambler Pacer before deciding against continuing with it.
An AMC super fan in the US bought it and sent it ‘home’. Evidently after a lot of work he shows it occasionally. I expect a 1/ Pacer 2/ badged Rambler and 3/ RHD would make it quite the oddity.
@JIO I used your Sonic Stomp setting a little today. I was using my '64 P with Pyramid Gold Flats. I like the setting as it made playing finger style a little more defined. It was a little too bright for my tastes with a pick, but I liked it for the definition it brought. I hate using that word twice, but it's the best way of describing what it did. Normally I have enough definition, but I'll remember that for a little variety in flavor.
Before searching I thought I'd ask if anyone knew place off the top of their head to get truss rod cover screws. I need three because some moron sucked them up in the vacuum. Thought I ask before Binging it.
I feel like this story should be more fun than was explained

I pushed some lighter foam between the new cover and the pickup to hold it together.
The hardest part was cutting tiny screw heads and gluing them onto the trim ring.

I changed strings and this is a bass that's very sensitive to string changes. I left the screws on the carpeted steps instead of taking them back upstairs to my bass closet. I heard a noise a few days later and went to see what was going on. An odd humming sound kept getting more loud and somewhat disturbing. I also notice an odd light coming from behind the door leading to upstairs. I pensively opened the door and the light was crazy bright. I then saw a being with huge eyes glaring at me and the screws on the steps. Without making any sound he held out his hand and slowly sucked the screws toward him. I asked him to leave the screws, but he said he had a bass that needed vintage TRC screws. I couldn't stop him and the screws vanished along with him. I say he was a moron because he said his bass was a Fender and they don't even have TRCs. Stupid alien.
Something like that....

always dug that side view…thing with the AMX styling is certain angles play an optical illusion making them seem bigger when in reality at 97” wheelbase length they are actually tiny…..
I think I got my chrome ones from Philadelphia Luthiers?, the not-chrome ones from Home Depot.....
Thanks! Those two seem about the same (a little over $7 plus tax for 12). I figured I'd need to either buy way more than needed or shipping would be more than the screws! I just checked Stew Mac... $11 for 3 screws plus tax!
