35" for sure

Has it been snapped up yet?

Woo! Probably my favorite looking bass I have seen on here in awhile.

Matt makes some great instruments. Is the board on this one ebony or rosewood?

I had a chance to try this bass in a shop in NYC maybe a year ago, and it's a fantastic instrument. In fact, the only thing that stopped me from buying it (aside from the fact that I have WAY too many basses already) is that I'm not a 5-string player at all, only 4's an 6's.

The seller's description is spot on -- very light, easy to play, and a beautiful woody tone. MPG has dimensions of their basses on the site. Unless this was a special order, it should be 19mm between strings at the bridge.

I am in no way affiliated with the seller (though I HAVE owned an MPG before) I just happened to see this ad and thought I'd offer an outside opinion. Also, FWIW, this asking price is quite a bit less than it was selling in the store for years ago IIRC.

Can U get a marcus-type of slap and pop tone from this bass?

Is the fretless fingerboard level/same height with the fretted fingerboard? Or is it slightly raised, where the fretless starts?

I'm trying to figure out if it mwahs well (which in my experience requires low action).

If it does slap and mwahs well, this would be a perfect bass.
