Tim,
I don't any experience with Legere Euro Cut bass reeds as of yet, hence the reason I asked. That said, based on my experiences on the Bb version, I'm not too surprised of the results you've had: Excellent response, but lacks the richness of a cane reed or their soprano sax signature reeds.
BUT I did try their American Cut tenor reeds after Walter Grabner claimed that they work extremely well on his bass pieces, and I concur. They work really well on my Fobes 10K bass mpc, have a very full, rich and natural sound that isn't far off from a functioning Vandoren Blue Box reed. The only issue was that I only had access to reed strength that is too soft, a strength 3 Legere AC tenor is midway between a Vandy Blue Box/D'Addario Reserve 3 & 3.5(and matches the 3+ strength of the latter), so I need to find a 3.25 of the Legere AC tenor to match the Vandy Blue Box/D'Addario Reserve 3.5s I normally use so I can make a more accurate comparision(which I will do so later this month!)
