I play an M13 on Bb as well (for what it's worth), and I just started playing bass this past fall. I started on what I think was an old B45 with a junky metal ligature, but quickly switched to a Hite mouthpiece and what looks like a BG ligature (but without the logo on the side) on a recommendation. I found that both items independently felt significantly better than the previous setup.

Quick note: the Hite required harder reeds than the B45--I found Vandoren 3.5's worked well for me.

I didn't do any looking around at different models, as I don't actually own any part of the setup, but it turned out pretty well for a bass beginner like myself. (I was somewhat surprised, too, because I hate the Hite Premiere soprano mouthpiece.)
