They both use the same fingerings, and you might have to change you mouth position a little. I think it is not hard. I've done it and it just takes some getting used to. Make sure you've got enough support though. It takes a lot more air than the Clarinet does. its hard switching after playing the soprano clarinet for a long time. You also use more air playing the Bass Clarinet.
