    Probably the Eccles Sonata.
    Another good piece you may want to look into is the Marcello sonata in E minor. It's not very difficult but sounds pretty alright.

    Ditto what iribassist said. I did both of those pieces, and the Marcello e minor sonata is probably a good bet, depending on your thumb position ability. If its developed enough, Give the Eccles a try.

    The Cimador mvt. III is not too tough. Takes a good amount of thumb position but as long as you have some semblance of it you should be fine.

    My thumb position technique is rudementary, but I'm always working on it, any thing I need to keep in mind while doing it, I'm learning by watching the LSO bass player do his solo's. The marcello suites are a possibility, I was watching someone play it today and saw that they didn't use thumb position. Has anyone played it?

    I did the Marcello sonatas. They're probably your better choice in this situation then.
