I've got a Selmer bass as well, but mine is just to Eb. I use a Vandoren B40 with #3 Vandoren reeds and a Rovner ligature. If you go to my web site at http://www.netcom.ca/~merlinw and click on the picture of me playing clarinet, it'll take you to my horns page, and you can see a picture of my head turning into a tomato as I play bass clarinet.<g>
