could be a Yamaha or other indonesian/asian Fender rep, but it looks similar to the bass Stanley Clark uses too from some angles

back in the early days of NO, Hooky used a nice Rickenbacker 4001 for most work as well IIRC, he also took a few basses from John Entwistle's collection when it was auctioned off too i think

Edit - had another look, Fender Bronco or Mustang bass possibly...

Thanks, what sort of money should I expect to pay for such a guitar?

You'll have to surf ebay etc. to find one, Yamaha still make the BB series, not that particular one, but they are still the same body shape if that's what you want..
