Basswood vs alder?

after how many years of playin' and prolly far too many trades and acquisitions ..... it's become obvious that I am a fan of basswood - especially when complimented with a maple top, dual 'buckers, maple neck and whammy .... so much so, that two of my remaining three guitars fit that description.

cheers always, eh

Personally, alder only does it for me with single coils, and at this point I haven't had much luck with it; I tend to prefer a warmer and more rounded sound. That said, poplar is something to consider as well, and I'd love another guitar made of that someday (maybe a Morse?).
