NBN's Easter weirdness

Most five string basses have a BEADG string setup (lowest to highest note). Real thunderous with that low B on board. Standard bass guitars are four strings (EADG, from lowest to highest), and are still pretty common for thumb fingered players like me. I'm not real sure what the setup is for six string basses.

Coolest bass I ever saw was an eight string played by John Entwistle. It is the same concept as a 12 string guitar, with the standard four bass strings each having a second string paired with it tuned an octave higher.
