Some publishers (Liben and Ludwin) have picked up on this. But -- you know -- there's a lot of bass music with tenor clef, and the bassist simply must be open to learning tenor clef in order to access some of these classics (like Eccles sonata from International).

It's tough to say if I would recommend it or not without seeing and playing it. I have a student that bought an all plywood bass that plays and sounds awesome! There are many factors.
