The B45 tends to have a brighter sound. I'd switch mouthpieces. I like the new Selmer model and you if money is not an issue try an old Chedeville. Maybe the Vandoren BD5, but it is very open. The tip opening is about 1.20.

A ligature can help, but if you really want something dark, maybe the Greg Smith mouthpiece. The key to dark is in the baffle and the chamber. The deeper the darker.

Warning - Be careful not to mix dark with warm. A warmer mouthpiece will always project nicely. A dark mouthpiece can sometimes suffer for projection and you won't be heard, thus DARK can be DEAD sounding.
