Somewhat. The Bass Clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb Clarinet. It is also much bigger and requires much more air, as well as a looser embrochure. There are also a couple extra keys (depending on your model) that allow you to play even lower than low E.

You mean the Bass Clarinet? Yes but no. If you can play the bass clarinet you know the clarinet fingerings but you do not necessarily have the embouchure or lung capacity to play all the clarinets.

The bass is bigger and you have to blow more into the mouth piece. The bass clarinet uses different reeds and a different mouth piece. The music is different and the bass normal plays lower then the normal clarinet.
