I'm just looking for some advice on what to play next. I just finished working on the Eccles Sonata in G minor and I am looking for pieces that are about the same in difficulty. Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Double Bass What to do next?

Perhaps Corelli Sonata (IMC) for lots of jumping around in its second movement. Or the Six Vivaldi Sonatas (transcribed for Bass). The De Fesch Sonata (IMC) is also about the same level. These are Baroque works.
A little bit different, with lots of different sections and a wider range of bowing styles is the Capuzzi Concerto (Boosey&Hawkes). Or the Romberg Sonata (transcribed for Bass).
Each of these has technical difficulties to work on. Take care to also play a lot of expressive music ,to equally push that side of your playing. Bloch's Prayer from Jewish Life No. 1, edited by Sankey (Carl Fischer B3398) is good for this but you need the piano part from the Cello version, B1969, if you want to perform with orchestral tuning.
Find a pianist to accompany you and have lots of fun,

Dragonetti Concerto
Chanson Triste, Valse Miniatures- Koussevitzky
Elegy- Bottesini
Standard pieces.
These are a little bit harder than the Eccles though

Dragonetti or chanson triste.
maybe Corelli or Telemann as well ( both sonatas)
Koussevitsky and elegy are tough works that can only be mastered after you have learned the plethora of lessons that Dragonetti and Chanson are good pieces
