The numbering refers to the written notation, not the sounding pitch. And, again, it's based on "middle" C being the 4th octave of C on the piano keyboard. It's only a reference for discussion, not an absolute identification, so the instrument's written "middle C" is C4 regardless of instrument. If the bass clarinet were written in bass clef, as many orchestral bass clarinet parts are, C4 would be the note one leger line above the bass clef staff.
