That is an interesting remark. My client, the harpist, insisted that the
music shouldn't be transposed up an octave and I was wondering why. I
didn't know that bass players read both transposed (8vb) and sounding
(c) (or how does one say that).

A more interesting question for clefs with CB is whether to continue to notate
them 8vb below sounding pitch. This can be a quite difficult choice. A note
that has excessive leger lines in 8vb bass clef can be too low in at-pitch
tenor or treble.
My understanding is that professional bass players can routinely read 8vb bass,
8vb tenor, and at-pitch treble. I'm not as sure about at-pitch tenor. In any
case, any clef change probably requires a notation as to whether it is 8vb or
at pitch.
