43" string length, yes - have you seen the bass itself or just pictures of it?
Just seen the pictures of it. My Gilkes has a huge swelled back. I have seen it before as well. My last Pollmann had a huge swell in the back as well. My Martini also had a huge back swell.

I have had and seen many basses with huge swelled carved backs. Nothing new in my book.
