Is there a specific key that the upright string bass plays in?

You could say that the bass reads in C, but an octave below the real bass clef. When you play an E, you hear a concert E. To be technical, or just using the correct terminology, the bass is in concert pitch. But about the octave lower, the C that we read is actually below on a ledger line in the real world.
All that was probably more wordy that neccicary.
