Here's my wallflower ThunderJag. Wish I could comment on the tone, but I have to dig deep under the control plate and start with new pots just to be sure. Kudos to WD Music for the custom guard. Squier CV Jaguar 32 inch scale. 
Bad picture under stage lighting, Great Bass. Aussie Maton JB4 Pro Fretless. Beautiful to play that bare unlined ebony board.

Current bass family (minus my wife’s Jag bass and a Charvel Model 1B still on police hold). Mike Lull P/J (my fave), American Standard Precision (with flats), American Original Jazz, MIJ Hybrid Jazz.
NBD... This is by far my most favorite top on any bass I've owned.
Yessir, with some flats on it too and I'm in love. The multi-scale us really comfortable for me. Once I got my EHB I fell in love with it. That one I'm in the process of installing a john east uni-pre and I'm going to try out a few pups. But I wanted another multi-scale with the stock stuff too as I've grown to like the BH2s even though I hated them at first. I just needed to learn them I suppose. Now I have two MS without having duplicate basses.
Well it is a gorgeous instrument! My wife saw your post and commented on how much she liked it as well.
Barts do seem to be a love ‘em or hate ‘em pickup but in the right context they sing!
play it in good health!
Recent update!
That’s it. Or else I’m gonna need a bigger couch!

pics to come soon. What flats are you using? I debated putting flats on but I ended up with Sunbeams and am very happy with the decision. I've heard a lot of people say they don't like the BH2s, but I really like the sound of them and don't really get the negative press. I heard, though, that the active/passive switch might not actually turn off the preamp but rather just take the EQ out of the signal chain, which may explain why it doesn't play nice with a few of my unbuffered pedals. If true, I would like to have a true active/passive switch... Anyway nice bass!
I have one too
Anyway nice bass!
Not sure what flats, they came with it. I just strung it up with DR neons but just until I get a set of cobalts in. The cobalt strings is what saved the Barts for me. They finally growled like I wanted them to but still could lay down deep smooth bass when dialed up. as for the passive that's news to me, I'll do some research into that. I think I am going to install the electronics I just pulled from my EHB into this and load it with a set of seymour duncan asbs I have.
