I'm no sort of mouthpiece expert but the York Monster Eb I acquired 40-ish years ago came with an "ALL * STAR E -- BASS" mouthpiece.

In the last six months I've acquired a fair to middlin' collection of small shank M/P's after getting an old Boosey & Co. three valve compenasting BBb. All of them have been plugged into the York and it still seems to love the ALL STAR more than any of the others.

I know that the York Monsters are animals unto themselves but OP might want to try one of those. Recently I purchased an "ALL * STAR BB -- BASS" on ebay so it would seem that they are still around.
