Replacement jewel lights?

[guitargeek62]

...for a single recto head, would fender ones be ok or are they different?

I replaced the jewel on my Roadster with one made by Fender and it fits just fine.

You can buy them for $5 each on the Mesa website under accesories.. kinda expensive though.

True dat. You could probably pick one up at your local RadioShack or similar store for much cheaper.

Are you looking for the lamp or the lens?

lens

The lens can be bought in several different colors and are a standard size. I think most music stores carry them.

Hmmmm... sounds like something i might do to my 2ch DR when it gets home just to make it more individual.

Purple is a cool on stage color!

So are the green and blue ones.

 

[Russ]

Maybe I will get a clear one and paint it a custom color inside or even use a true white bulb.

 

[Guitarzan]

I have blue and red.

 

[Russ]

What about an eyeball or a small red dot on a smooth lens?

 

[Guitarzan]

Cat eye would work!

The Jewel lens' are cut glass not smooth.

You can get a lens that is smooth. I have seen them on other equipment. It is just a matter of finding one that would fit. When I was in the service they were all over our machinery so I know they exist. Thyey might not be original Boogie fare or even typical amplifier light lenses but it sure would make an interesting light lens.

I bought my DC-5 used, and it came with a smooth blue lense, which I thought was original. Way cool, anyway. 8)

Everyone has red lenses...

 

[MusicManJP6]

I had blue on my Peavey XXX - it's a standard Fender part. Mesas lenses are the same on the DRs... Blue was really cool, but I don't mind the red one for now...

But those are not jewel lens' they are just round lens'. The reason jewel lens' are called that is because the glass is cut so that the light is defracted in such a way as to make it sparkle. I have seen the plain ones and they are rather boring. Lots of companys use plastic light these days also but to me that's just cheap looking.
