Jim-

Just as with a wooden instrument, you need to find a good combination of reed and mouthpiece. The one I have appears to be cheaply made, but the sound quality is about as good as my wooden Selmers (Signet Special and Series 10G). Unfortunately it is pitched at A=445 Hz, and can't be adjusted to play all notes in tune at A=440 Hz.

Incidentally, I saw a metal Bass Clarinet on E-Bay, but it was called a "Saxophone"!
