The most beautiful bass?

That piano black Ritter tugs at my heart strings.
Sadly, I’ve never had a gig where it would feel right to play it. Or the change in my jeans to acquire one either, lol.

Used to love Ritters, Alembics, and CTs, but this. Match the headstock to the body, ditch the dots and you have a bass that is as aesthetically perfect as a 1967-72 Chevy C/K.
Saw this thread on the front page and came here to mention this bass - I see that civilization has already touched this area of Talkbass. You, sir, are a man of taste and class.
In all seriousness, though, the design of the Stradi Symphony is so perfect in every way. It's the only bass that I've seen where "elegant" is actually the perfect term to describe it. The form is beautiful and the creator has allowed the form to speak for itself by removing all unnecessary elements. I love the fact that it's an homage to classic design while seeming more modern than almost anything else out there. This is a true work of art. If there's one bass in the world that I would want to own, it'd be that one.
What bass is that? Is it an actual PRS? I ask because I love PRS guitars, but have never really liked the GG or Keisler models...they just don't look like a PRS. This does though.

It's the 11th instrument Paul ever made.
More here, although the article features a pretty lousy photo:
Paul Reed Smith #11
I assume you mean the two tone burst? If three tone burst then NO!You mean besides a sunburst P bass with tort, right? Because that IS the most perfectest bass ever made.
