Sorry Jens if the term "custom" does not please you, I know just that the bass was sold under this denomination "Fodera Monarch Custom", for info here the link of BassClubParis where the bass was bought :

This is really my bass on this announcement. 
I actually learned about the bass before buying it to know the difference between a standard model and a custom model, the answer was only on custom models, woods are carefully selected, in addition to having the head Inclined, which allows better adjustment of the height of the strings.

You are comparing it to the present Standard model. 
Read up on the "New Standard"...
