I love the color and the pickups are a great contrast. Not sure about the size of the body. I know that MG model has a slightly downsized body, smaller than a LG model. As for wide spacing, it looks to be 19mm, which IMO is just fine.

Looks like the Fodera that Will Lee played on Letterman for a number of weeks. This is going back many years ago when the show first moved to CBS.
I played a bass in a very similar colour a litttle while back( it was even darker and not a burst) and am now thinking about having a P bass in this dark and rich blue.
Very nice colour!
It is a rich beautiful blue, It would be cool in a satin less glossy finish.
As for a P in that color; I do remember Valenti doing a 5 string P with BEM with a rich blue burst.
Really? Wow, must have missed it. This Blue Imperial resides in Japan now, I think.
Here are some pix of my mid 90's NYC Bass.
I believe these were made in the Brooklyn shop.
It's a great bass.
Lane Poor pickups
Ebony fingerboard
Drop D Tuner
No Butterfly

A very nice colour!
And the headstock with no butterfly looks good too I think.
I actually prefer it without.
No what might look real nice too would be a burst using the blue on teh bass a few posts up ,combined with this green on body as well as the head and neck.
I've drooled over the blue imperial before, just killler. A trans black emp II would be at the top of my list for sure! But luckily the fellas are cranking out tons of beauties that it's pretty easy to forget about the blue one.....

Agreed....a Blue & Green burst make a very nice combo...

Looks a bit like my Emperor. 3 tone burst topped of with a nasty Brazilian board.
You are absolutely right. "Blue in Green" from "Kind of Blue". "BlueS in Green" was a freudian typo.
BTW, Miles has stated that he is the composer of that tune.

I know he has.
I don't believe he wrote it though or that he would have been the "main man" in the writing of this piece.
I do believe he wrote Donna Lee though.
