Default where's the best source for basswood.....

GOOD BASS WOOD....I had a dealer here, he died, and his son now has the business, but he doesn't seem to want to answer my phone calls, so I may have to order it thru the mails.......one thing about the bass wood I was getting from my former dealer.....it was hard, hard, hard....He was kiln drying it........could it be that he was over drying it? or maybe I'm just getting weak.....ha, ha.
