I'm in a similar situation having recently started playing bass again after playing nothing but Bb soprano for the past 10 years. I've been experimenting with a couple of different mouthpieces and so far the one I like the best is a Fobes Basso Nova.

I should note however that you may need to be a little careful with reed selection with the Fobes mouthpieces. Although you often hear that Fobes mouthpieces are more or less designed to work with Vandoren reeds I have found that the Vandoren blue box reeds are too narrow (barely extend past the inside edges of the side rails) for either of the two mouthpieces I have tried. Rico reeds seem to fit perfectly however.
