Smile The treble clef!

Hi bassists,

Currently I'm part of a small jazz band, and we're trying to improve. Some of the bass parts are written in treble clef and unfortunately, although I know how to read treble clef it's still alien to me. Does anyone know of any good books that introduce the treble clef to bassists?

Thanks!

No books needed, the treble clef reads a third higher on the staff. the rest is the same...

Remember that bass clef middle c, one ledger line above the bass clef, is the same as treble clef middle c, one ledger line below the treble clef, so you can extrapolate from there, either learning the lines and spaces (egbdf & face, respectively) or at worst, re-writing the part with either multiple ledger lines or an 8va bracket.
