Only 1000 of these basses were made and they are a real collectors item.
When Fender first discussed the possibility of doing a signature model with Noel, he’d already sold his bass some 15 years earlier, but was able to borrow the bass back so Fender could copy everything accurately.
When Fender had finished the prototype, they sent it to Noel for his approval and he stated in an interview that “it was exactly the same as my original bass – they did a fantastic job” SOLD
