FDP Forum / Fender Product Reviews / Fender Replacement Jewel Light Cover - Blue

Mosquito Contributing Member Dallas, Texas i am an american aquarium drinker	Nov 5th, 2003 03:09 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I purchased a Fender Jewel Light Cover in blue to replace the standard red jewel light cover that came with my Hot Rod Deluxe. I know it sounds pretty stupid to review this item, but I wasn't especially happy with it. Not enough blue, frankly. The coating is a little thin, so instead of a cool deep blue, I get a pale light blue. I haven't decided whether or not to put the original red one back on. Tone remains unaffected.
pepler Contributing Member continental american you're rong, I'm wright...	Nov 7th, 2003 12:33 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic true, but the pale blue is actually a bit brighter onstage than the standard red. And it looks *good* on my 68 SF amps...;-)
Mosquito Contributing Member Dallas, Texas i am an american aquarium drinker	Nov 10th, 2003 11:26 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Good points, Pepler, however I stand by my lukewarm assessment. If I buy a blue jewel light cover, I want BLUE. As in Jayhawks "Blue", not LeAnne Rhymes "Blue"....

jay1vinton Contributing Member Hawaii, USA Eh, you da kine ??	Sep 20th, 2005 05:51 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I have a violet one on my HDRlx. It is pretty cool in a dark room, but with top mounted controls, whats the point?
joshuabryant Vancouver BC	Sep 23rd, 2005 04:15 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic What's great about the blue one though is that if you look at it from the side, you get a weird pink color off of it. Looks awesome.

Fender_Fella Contributing Member Austin, Texas Twang you very much!	Oct 6th, 2005 01:47 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I use the blue one on a 65 twin ri, because this particular amp was gutted and rebuilt using hand wired point to point wiring, just like the old ones. It's a modern classic! so I wanted to set it apart from regualr ri amps alittle. ok, it's corny. But I really like it. All of my other Fender amps are red, though.
BenderR Contributing Member Tucson, AZ USA MBJ KC-LOBC DSG	Oct 9th, 2005 10:10 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic "Do they really sell enough of those things to make them worthwhile...?" Apparently they do, It's a cheap form of self expression. I dunno, maybe it's a gang thing. I just like having something a bit different. I figure that a blue jewel is fitting for a blusey player like myself. "What % of F amp owners 'go non-red'?" In my household 100%. :)

Peegoo Contributing Member ********** ** That chicken is WRONG, baby.	Oct 7th, 2009 04:11 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I bought a box full--more than 50--of screw-in panel lights ("jewels") at a ham fest for less than $10. They were all old and they all were in great shape. Most are glass. No bacon for sale here...just ham radio and other electronica. The lenses are in all sorts of colors and some look pretty cool. The smooth round ones look the best to my eye. The faceted ones, as stock on many amps, appear sort of cheesy to me.
