You should try using the samller tuba with a 24AW (or around this size) and see how it goes. In the 'British Brass Band Sound' the BBb Basses provided the roundness and the breadth to the note, while the EEb basses add the articulation and polish to the note. The brighter sound of the EEb bass gives it a more subtle sound which will compliment the darker sound of the larger horn. To emulate a string bass sound try using a 'dauw' attack opposed to du, tu, or tee. Experiment and see what works for you. By the way Im not a professional this is just what I have heard and been told.
