Yep, the sharp B is a pain on most basses. I got to use a bass with a customised register mechanism (by Rene Hagman) and the b was in tune, quite a shock, and made playing bass significantly easier...
Solutions on a standard bass
- an extra thumb key so you can use the b flat trill key as a 2nd register key (Buffet did this for a friend in the 1990s,don't know if they still offer that service). Works for one note only, the b, so not that convenient..
- use your right thumb to open the b flat side key to use as register key (only works when playing with a floor peg)
- keep a beanie nearby to stuff in the bell when you have an exposed b coming up (only works for e flat bass)
