Bass tuba is non-transposing, and they are as used to 6 ledger lines below the staff as flute and violin players are used to 6 ledger lines above the staff. I don't know whether this is universal, but the way I was taught when writing concert-pitch scores, octave-transposing instruments such as picc, contrabassoon, glock, and double bass are written in the octave read by the player regardless. This seems to fly in the face of the convention of concert pitch, where EVERYTHING should be written where it sounds, but I learned to call these things C scores, not concert-pitch scores. Actually, lack of standardisation in C scores is one of the reasons I only write transposed scores.
