Actually, I included that because I also play the bass guitar.  I can sort
of understand the five-string, since you get a few lower notes than you
can't get on a four.  But the extra high C string on a six seems silly since
you can get the same notes on the G-string, except for the ridiculously high
ones that a bass player has no business messing around with in the first
place ;-)

I actually saw a seven-string bass being played at a club here in KC
recently.  The neck is ludicrously wide and the whole contraption looks
almost comical.
