Key Signatures of the Bass Clef

What are they? Key signatures of the bass clef can sometimes be more difficults to remember. I guess because we tend to use the treble clef more, it's easier.

One thing that's helpful to remember is that on the staff, the sharps and flats begin one line down from the treble clef. They generally follow the same pattern.
Here they are, sharp key signatures first, flat key signatures second.
