thebassist Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 This looks like a Fodera Monarch New Standard model? It's very similar anyway. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280669-fodera-monarch-new-standard-4-strings-sold/

It's very similar anyway. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280669-fodera-monarch-new-standard-4-strings-sold/ [/quote] The limited run new standards were effectively the same as the Monarch custom bolt ons. The only real difference is that the customs were/are made to order for a specific customer or dealer whereas the new standards were batch built to sell as 'stock' I've owned both and can't tell the difference between them. This isn't to detract from the custom bolt ons of course. They are great basses and simply a bolt on variation as opposed to more common dovetail or neck through models.

gorandelac Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 This was standard line back in 2005-2007. I has angled peghead, but not a Custom Fodera preamp. Also it's a bolt on with black finish on headstock.

But this in a "New Standard" (unfortunate naming) and is by definition not a custom. Read up on it or ask the people at Fodera.
saroumane2005 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 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 : [url="http://www.bassclubparis.com/index.php/occasions/fodera/fodera-monarch-custom-4-cordes-detail"]http://www.bassclubparis.com/index.php/occasions/fodera/fodera-monarch-custom-4-cordes-detail[/url] 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.

I'd suggest you contact Fodera for information about this bass so you can hear it directly from them. It looks to be a New Standard model and while you can obviously ask for whatever amount of money you like, it might be difficult to sell at the price you'd like because this isn't a custom Fodera.

Sibob Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Yup, just to confirm, the previous 'New Standards' had the swept back headstock, the current 'Standards' have the flat headstock. Si
BaconCheese Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Being a New Standard, this is still a fine bass, I am sure. I had a lovely Fodera NYC that was very good (which is for sale at the Bass Club Paris, btw).
Mikkoantt Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I used to have also New Standard Fodera and honestly I can tell that it was best Fodera that I ever had. And I used to have NYC, Imperial elite 5, Emperor elite 5 and Monarch Standard 4. Only one thing happened to it and it was that original preamp died and I changed it to Pope Flexcore 4 band and still I think that original preamp was far better. I honestly can recommend this Fodera. GLWTS:) - Mikko
thebassist Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Having owned a New Standard myself, I don't doubt that this is a fine bass but I think it's very important to list things as accurately as possible.

I've hung on to just one and it's a New Standard. I really cannot tell any difference between these and any other bolt-on Fodera custom builds. The New Standards are a very different breed to the 'regular' Standard range and, in my purely personal opinion, of a higher quality and I'd rate them as being more valuable to a player because of this. As others have said though, it's important to be clear about the exact model as it does effect overall desirability to some people.
Lally Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I have the same bass, with a Wenge top, on the off chance you would like to trade, I could give you €500. you can find pics of the bass here. https://www.facebook.com/lallybass/
