Bass/Tuba duets
Just grab an appropriate String Bass duet, and read the part down an octave (like the Str. Bass does). There are some nice Bass duets out there; experiment as to who sounds better on which part, and remember you have a DECIDED advantage acoutically as well as decibely over the String Bass. It should be a good lesson for you on really playing quietly and still implying dynamic contrast. It will really come in handy if you should ever have the occasion to play with/accompany an acoustic guitarist.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. --Shakespeare

St. Bass and Tuba
Ian McDougall, jazz trombonist of Victoria, British Columbia, wrote a duet for Dennis Miller and a bass player from the Vancouver Symphony. You would have to get this from Ian, who teaches at the University of Victoria.
Marcello sonatas work pretty well, with the players alternating between the top line and the bass line.
