Huh, this sounds like a case for what \addInstrumentDefinition was for
(it's been undocumented because there really is no point in not just
defining a music expression doing the same).

Doing a context of its own seems like overkill when you could just be
writing

\new Staff \with \bassclarinet { ... }

instead and put all the respective definitions in \bassclarinet .
