New Bass Mouthpiece Advice

Author: Jbosacki

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get some personal advice on some different bass mouthpieces. I've been playing bass all my life both for my degree and professionally. For my clarinets (Bb and A festival) I have a Lomax Classic A1G and I'm completely happy with it. Every note speaks beautifully, articulation is flawless and it just really works for me.

For my bass I have a Richard Hawkins S (Buffet Prestige Low C). While I really do believe he makes fantastic products I feel as though I've always been longing for more. I feel like I'm missing something in my playing that I have on my Bb. I wish it could do as much as my clarinet mouthpiece can do. Which brings me to my question.

I'm asking to see if anyone has played any of the Lomax Bass mouthpieces. I've never been able to try one or been around anyone who plays one. I specifically want to see if anyone owns both a Bb and Bass Lomax. I'm curious if they think they play the same on both instruments, because that's what I think (more or less) what I'm looking for.

I know there's a ton of bass mouthpieces out there and I would appreciate any advice on the subject but I'm curious really if anyone knows if the Lomax Bass mouthpieces play similar to their Bb Counterparts. Thanks!
