Yes, that must have been a basset clarinet at the show.
As for other pitches of clarinets, I've heard of an Ab (I'd refer to as a piccolo clarinet) by Leblanc, D clarinets, etc. I'm looking into getting a C clarinet for myself for church choir performances. I'm tired of not being able to play because the music needed to be transposed for me.
BTW, Bass clarinet fingerings are the same as a regular Bb clarinet. I played Bass Clarinet for about 5 years and I can't find any difference. Sure, you need to make sure you've got a good tone and everything, but fingerings are the same.
As for fingerings on every clarinet, when you read a C on your music, you finger a C on your clarinet. That doesn't change. What does change is the PITCH. Just because you finger a C doesn't make that a Bb concert. So you really have to know your stuff.
