Re: "Level up" bass clarinet...

In my opinion, none of the Leblanc or Noblet horns are particularly good and aren't good values even at used prices. Depending on your budget, I'd recommend a used Buffet Prestige 1193 (nothing before that model, though - and also avoid the Buffet 1180) or an older Selmer (The model 37 is my favorite and is what I play - but the 33 is great, too!). The low Eb versions of all those are also excellent horns.

If those are too spendy, check out the newest version of the Ridenour basses.
