I recently bought a new mouthpiece for my bass cl. after trying a few out: Vandoren V45. no place locally, however, stocks much in the way of ligatures. Any suggestions? I kind of lean toward reverse types because that's what I've used on my sop.

If you have followed the lig discussions here, the Peter Spriggs sop cl lig is given high marks and pro recommendations to me here, I'll have to get one. Whether or not he makes a bass cl lig or not, Mark et al may know. I have a Mitchell Lurie bass lig on the way, will let you know about it. I have acquired a real liking for both Luyben and Bonade INVERSE ligs for sop cl. Don

Although I use the Rovner fabric ligatures on all my other instruments, I keep coming back to the Vandoren inverted metal ligature (their older design, not the new Optimum)for my bass clarinet. It just seems to have a good combination of security and damping for my tastes.

On bass, i prefer the Winslow ligatures. But they are currently in a state of multi-month backorder. Last i heard it was something like 6-8 months. I haven't tried Peter Spriggs' bass ligature yet. I hope someone has them at the ClarFest in OK this summer.
However, i currently use a Rovner and it does the job just fine. AND, it's *very* affordable.

I use a BG revelation ligature on a Bay MO-M mouthpiece and find it to be a very good combination. This combination allows a for a very big sound without loss of control when needed, while still keeping the ability to whisper notes in all registers. Most of this is the design of the Bay mouthpiece, but when used with the Bay ligature doesn't give the same wide dynamic range.
