Bass Solo Sheet Music

Alright, I don't play double bass, but I think I'll have more luck looking for this in the double bass forums.

I need to do a solo performance, just a short little bass solo, for a class presentation. No specific criteria, just that I need sheet music and it has to be challenging. So, where can I obtain (free) sheet music for a short solo? If not free, then is there any books that you guys can recommend?

Your help would be much appreciated!

I believe Martin Motnik has a trascription available for his version of the Bach Cello Suite #1:

I would recommend transcribing a piece that you like and writing out a chart for your class. That way you improve your ear, gain the experience of actually setting up and writing out a piece, and you don't have to solicit or steal copyrighted material on a public internet forum.
