There are lots of bass-clef duet books for trombone and/or euphonium. They usually sound even better when the second part is played down an octave on a tuba. It's a skill that every tubist needs to develop anyway, to play string bass and contrabasson parts. It's also helpful for learning difficult tuba solos that are way too high.
My favorite such a duet book is "Amsden's Celebrated Practice Duets", bass clef version, published by C.L. Barnhouse in Oskaloosa, Iowa. My brother and I wore out the first edition copy that my father and uncles had used when they were kids, and I have put some serious wear and tear onto another copy with my son.
