You mean more like Stanley or Jaco? (sorry) Seriously, I think traditionally bigger, deeper mouthpieces work better on larger horns, but if you're talking about clean, fast attack and dead on intonation when you say "like a bass-guitar" you might try narrower sharper rims for this effect. If you mean like John Paul Jones booming thundering sounds, which your jumbo is surely capable of, stick with the big fat rims of Bach 24AW and the like. (oh, and do lots of calesthenics and breathing exercises!)
Hope this helps
