We offer what we offer because I feel that is the best for what we make in general.
Maple is way softer than Morado for a Fingerboard and even softer than the harder Ebony. That is going backwards. They gave up Maple when Ebony got popular, about 100 years ago. Fender solid Maple necks were made for cost, not quality.
I am not going to cut down some tree for an idea someone has about a Bass. I have already what I think makes a good Bass. We are not new at doing this. I think 30 years doing says something.
On the "Custom" question we do make Custom combinations of the woods within what we offer. Not trying at all to be harsh on my reply above but to get the results I am comfortable with in advance, I need to stick with what I already know. I do not want to experiment with your money.
