ebonite "Do you get a low B if you cover up the vent hole?"

Yes - I've also seen another basset clarinet conversion done by Brian Ackerman (which started out as a regular Selmer Series 9 A) that has the low C vent hole which will give a low B when covered up.

You can also humour a low B on a Buffet Prestige or Tosca low C bass (or Uebel Emperior and Royal Global low C basses as they're all based on the Buffet design) if you close off the low C vent on the bell with the inside edge of your left foot.
