I don't know if there are special bass clarinet stands, but before
I moved to Chicago I played in a clarinet quintet (all clarinets --
had lots of fun just playing for relaxation over the summers, etc)
Our bass clarinetist got hold of a second hand sax stand -- two
holders, for tenor (I think!) and alto -- and made it into a bass/
soprano clarinet stand with half an hour's bashing at his
basement workbench. It worked great, but was *quite* heavy.

Hope this helps, I'm afraid I don't play bass (yet!)
