I'm exited for you starting on the bass . My wife started similarly a few years ago having played the Bb. First she got an old Selmer/Bundy ,which may well be similar to yours inasmuch as it's a low Eb with single register, designed around the same period . She loves playing but had trouble with the Selmer from the standpoint of devining to what extent issues she was having with it were her, and to what extent they were shortcomings of the instrument. Unfortunately, here in Ibiza ,there don't seem to be any experienced bass players to help resolve these somewhat exasperating conundrums.
I just mention this because although there's no particular reason why you need a teacher to switch to playing the bass, you may get a very helpful angle on its foibles if you can find an experienced bass player to check it out and tell you things, because some foibles it's bound to have .
While you may be somewhat stuck with the mouthpiece, there is presumably the option of refacing it .
All the best . J
