Re: Bass clarinet mouthpieces

Well I play bass clarinet, but not as well as someone who mainly player it.

I have the Clark Fobes San Francisco and I LOVE IT. Though I find it easier to squeak, because the CF SF produce a lot more overtones than most other mouthpieces (it's also because I'm not the worlds most knowledgeable and good bass clarinet player.) Though thanks to the overtones when I play I sound a lot darker, rounder, and bigger. Once you learn how to play with it you'll learn to learn to love the mouthpiece. I've tried the MOBA and Grabner and I like both of them those are good choices too.

The Clark Fobes SF was able to turn a horrible 200 year old Selmer sounding like a million dollar instrument.

By the way the mouthpieces I just suggested are pretty expensive.

Now as to the other players playing not well I just wouldn't do anything. It's not really your job to criticize others. Just learn to deal with it.
