I believe you mean to say "Does a double bass read from bass or treble clef?" The answer to that is bassists almost always read bass clef. But very good bassists that play very high read treble clef often and sometimes tenor clef.

Is alto higher than bass and treble?
When you are speaking of singing voices, the usual four are (from high to low) soprano, alto, tenor and bass. So alto does sing higher than bass.

An alto singing part is typically written on the treble staff; but the alto range extends down (using ledger lines below the staff) into notes that can also be written on the bass staff.
