Looks like alder to me - I think the maple toneblocks they use are nearly always flamed - the flash photography probably makes it look lighter than it really is. 

We should do a poll. 🙂

You're right. In real the block looks more red than on the pics.

Plus I found the original add from this bass (pre-previous owner) and there was written that it's alder...

Sweet bass! I have both MG's with both alder and maple toneblock. Your bass is looks like maple toneblock. However the Maple toneblock are a 250 dollars upcharge and is a really toneblock imho 

Ok. You are second to say so. But it has this red-ish colour that I know from alder. But maybe you're right. I'm no expert on woods. Thank's anyway!

Who made those custom pickups? And toneblock is maple.

I found the old add. It's Fodera/Duncan Dual coils and it's definitely alder tone block.

Wow, beautiful. Does it have an ash body?

Sorry, I just saw the title...

Beautiful!

Wow, beautiful. Does it have an ash body?

I had the string only for one week on my bass. Max. playing time 3-4 hours.

For my french bass they are (for my taste) a bit too mid-frequency emphasized. I think they would work great for dark basses to feature the mid frequencies and the high frequencies to get a nice pizz tone. They do supply a nice bassy tone. Imho not suited well for arco.

I ordered them from Gollihur Music für 148,- USD plus customs/VAT and shipping

I shot a short video (iphone) so you can get an impression. I'll send you the link upon request.

I had the chance to play that bass a while ago and I can assure that it is the absolute bomb.

I'm selling this amazing Marleaux Mbass custom 2012, made in 2017 to my specs

Specs:

Dark walnut body, Macassar ebony top, east indian rosewood fingerboard, alder tone block, 33" neck maple/ash, 3 band eq with passiv tone (also in activ mode), layout: Vol, PU blend, concentric bass/mid, conc. act./pas. treble, 2 PU 3-way switches (serial, parallel and humb.), Häussel Humbucker PU with ebony cover, macassar ramp (removable), matching macassar headstock, Schaller tuner with Hipshot D-tuner, security locks, weight 4.2 kg, 19 mm string spacing, E-C tuning (can be changed to B-G)

This bass is amazing concerning its sound, look and playability

It has slight signs of use (see pix), It was played a lot and the sound evolved incredibly during that process. Including papers, tools, Marleaux gig bag and a leather strap.

What's the weight and the stringspacing at the bridge?

What's the weight of this lovely bass?

What's the stringspacing at the bridge? 19mm or closer?

3.6 kg on my digital bathroom scale

The bass has 3 PUs and a 4 th piezo in the bridge.
Lots of sound possibilities. The three potis are for the normal PUs, the 4th is passive tone. If you pull it it's for the piezo.
The bass is as new.
With the 30" scale is fits in a guitar bag. Amazing short scale bass.
String spacing at the bridge is 19mm.
