Hi there,
I like to refer to the 4C by a gag name, "the doorstop." I have witnessed people get a pretty good sound out of it, but you will certainly be better off (and probably expend less energy for the same or better sound) with a different mouthpiece. Since middle school I have been a Vandoren fan. I would recommend you try some Vandorens in the range of the 5RV, M15, M13, and even the M30. Vandorens tend to have some inconsistencies in them, so if you can test more than one of the same mouthpiece, you'd be doing yourself a huge favor. Also try the D'Addario X0. I have no experience with that one but I hear people like it. If you want to get away from commercial mouthpieces (which you don't really have to do but it may work for you), try out Clark W Fobes, and Walter Grabner. I would also suggest buying some sample packs of Vandoren 3 and 3.5 reeds, as well as D'Addario sample packs. I absolutely love the Reserves on my bass and you may find luck with them on Bb.
