Re: Fluttertongue on bass

I do not think this is a common thing.

It seems your BC flutter tongue is tied to the tighter embouchure voicing you are using for the high notes. Maybe try some overtone exercises without flutter tonguing first. This should give you a greater awareness of your voicing.

Finger and play a low Bb. Then without pressing the octave key try making the same fingering play a mid range F then a high D. Play these three notes up and down using only embouchure changes. Try the same exercise fingering a half step up/down.

Now try the high D with flutter tongue and try to voice it down to the mid range F. Or, try going down chromatically if the jump is not working for you.

You could also try playing a low E on sop clarinet and practice flutter tonguing with as loose an embouchure as possible. Then try extending your range on bass clarinet again.
