My experience, exactly, with the '60 Conn 6B I bought. After trying numerous trumpet mouthpieces which had worked fine on my Bach, I bought a Connstellation mouthpiece on eBay, a 9C-W, which works great for upper register stuff. Then I bought a Conn 4 on eBay, and like it even better for most playing. It has a nice tone and is a great all-around piece.
