I use a BG fabric ligature on my Eb clarinet, with a crystal mouthpiece (Backun). I've never had a slippage problem, even playing that setup often in parades.
I have a picture of Anthony McGill playing with a fabric ligature, that looks to me like a BG. However, I could see where pulling a mouthpiece off for a quick clarinet change could be a problem, but that happens with metal ligatures also. After a session, pulling my mouthpiece with Optimum ligature off my tenor, usually results in the ligature and reed coming off. Sure, one can crank the ligature down drastically, but I don't like doing that, we're talking about a musical instrument here. Even the car manufacturers limit the torque used on the lug nuts ! I think it has something to do with the taper of the mouthpiece.
Oh well, I respect all your opinions, so I better be prepared to return it.
