Jack Casady commissioned an acoustic bass from Tom Ribbecke. It is called the Diana Bass, in honer of his late wife, although a Google search on Diana Bass gets way more hits for the author Diana Butler Bass. Money was not really a factor and the design goals were acoustic tone, volume, sustain and the ability to play live. The asymmetry is obvious. Less obvious is the fact that the top and bottom are not parallel. Note the soundhole location and the cutaway. I'm going to use this to add to anecdotal evidence that "round" is not better and a cutaway has low or no sonic significance.
Here's an old Epi Tenor round body.
That's John Lemon (or is it Lenin, I always forget) in "Help":Not the Hot Tuna guys that's Jorma and Jack. The guy standing with the Vicar?
Ya think John is baked out of his skull?

I remember one time at Cliveden (Lord Astor's place, where the Christine Keeler/Profumo scandal went on); we were filming the Buckingham Palace scene where we were all supposed to have our hands up
It was after lunch, which was fatal because someone might have brought out a glass of wine as well. We were all a bit merry and all had our backs to the camera and the giggles set in. All we had to do was turn around and look amazed, or something.
It's all Bob Dylan's fault:.Oh yes, they were stoned through the whole movie! Great posts, Al!

Love The Beatles but their drug years were the best. I listen to The White Album at lest 3 times a month.

If you don't have it already, the new "expanded" remastered edition is awesome. Not only is the sound quality greatly enhanced, but three extra CD's of outtakes!
