34"scale VS 35"scale

Can someone give me the distance from the nut to 3rd fret, and nut to 5th fret of a 35" scale.
I am trying to make a decision on scale length for a bass I'm having made.
Thanks in advance.

Awesome, thanks man. You Luthiers are great.

That helps me a lot. There's not much difference from 34" to 35"

... maybe around 1/4" in the first few frets, not enough to worry about. I was worried it would be more. Great I have made my decision already. Thanks again.
