BASS CLAR MOUTHPIECE

Last Sat, after the "Master Class" given by Gregory Smith at IMS, I selected (with Lisa's patient help--I'm quite picky and things have to be made right) a new Buffet Prestige low C bass clarinet to bring home for a short trial period. Currently, I am using a VanDoren B-45 which has been refaced to accept tenor sax reeds with an Optimum lig. I have been using cane tenor sax reeds--many brands, med. hard--but I have also been getting resonable results using Legere #4 and #4.5 bass clar reeds. My question to all of you more experianced bass clarinetists is: what set-up (mpc/reed) do you recommend and use?

Thanks in advance, and Good Clarineting!!!!
