Re: Legere with basset horn?

I haven't tried the Legere alto sax reeds on BH or alto as I don't really play either that much these days, BUT I do play bass very frequently and tested almost every cut of Legere tenor sax & bass clarinet reeds except the classic tenor. The only 3 cuts that pass my test are the Euro Cut bass, Sig tenor & American Cut tenor. Among them the American Cut sounds the closest to an actual cane reed, and the sound difference between it and a Vandoren Blue Box cane reeds(presumably what you're using on BH Jarmo) are quite small to me, hence what I'd suggest you to try first, though I may also suggest you to start with 1/4 strength softer as I've found that the Legere Signature & American Cut reeds run ~1/4 harder in strength than Vandoren Blue Box cane reeds.
