Hi! Does anybody know or know of any pieces for the above mentioned configuration: an unusual one, but an interesting one? Ideally, the double-bass part would be at least a little challenging, so as to keep the bassist awake. Thank you

Preludio, Aria e Ballo by Hugo Pfister. It's for A clarinet. The first mvt. is a solo for the bass.

Dear Friends,
Thank you both! I hope I get some more replies. For the moment, these are slim pickings, but something is always better than nothing. I suppose I'll have to make some arrangements, but from what? Maybe Brazilian choros and I'll add on a bass part. I seem to recall that the jazz clarinettist, Jimmy Giufre, played in this configuration.

Piazzolla pieces might work well in arrangements for your group. There are some pieces published by Tonos for Piano trio (violin, cello, piano.) It could work arranging some of those arrangements if the piano part can be reduced/reworked for guitar.

Choro might be a good area to look. Choro groups commonly use both 6-string and 7-string guitars, for chords and bass runs respectively. There is a good series of books by Almir Chediak with authoritative transcriptions, mostly in a double staff (treble and bass clefs) with chords. The two staves plus chord names amount to a pretty fair 3-part arrangement.
Of course there's the Bb transposition to worry about, as always http://elderly.com/books/items/675-5.htm
