What register do the treble clef and bass clef lay on an electric bass?

Typically, clef's denote staffed music, not notes on an instrument.... However if you want to be technical about it "middle C" which is the space above the middle line in the treble cleft would be found on the 17th fret of your bass. This is because the bass instrument plays the bass clef, but it is an octave below the bass clef that cellos read, and clefs were designed for orchestral instruments. If you wanted to decide where the clefs lay, a good rule is from the low C on your a-string to it's octave is bass cleff, and anything above the 5th fret on your g-string is treble clef
