The lig that came with my bass was a little shaky, so I ordered a Rico H-lig. The darn thing is too big. I have tried it on both the Yamaha 4C and Garrett pieces I own, and I can't tighten it down enough unless I slide it way, way down the piece. If I do that, the reed wants to slide side to side, and intonation gets a little wild.
I know I can use tape or a patch to widen the diameter of the mouthpiece, but I don't think that should be necessary. Is there that much variation in the size / shape of bass clarinet mouthpieces?
