It's like those of us who trade off between Euph. and CC Tuba (and F-tuba and Bass Bone in my case). At first I had had a hard time with the fingerings when switching back and forth, but with practice, everything ironed itself out. Eventually the fingerings for each horn will be like a file folder in your brain---when you pick up that horn, you'll open that folder in your mind.

Make sure you practice the CC consistently in order to become comfortable with the fingerings. You already know BBb fingerings, and it's much easier to come back to them (all you have to do is open that file) than it is to learn CC fingerings on the fly (you must create that file now). Good luck and happy practicing.
