You will not see many of these for sale as Jon Hill made most of his basses as custom basses for professional bass players. This one is very close if not in mint condition and the build quality is among the best I have seen. The bass was completed December 2006 and weighs in right around 10 lbs. Here are the specifications:

I am primarily looking at selling (everybody needs cash in today's economy) with a price of $1200 shipped. I am not really interested in trades but the right Matt Pulcinella Level 5 Fretted to keep my Matt Pulcinella Level 5 Fretless company may be tempting.
