The late Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead played a 6 string bass for a time.

I used to be a drummer. I know a bass, a four string from the top down is low E ,A, D and G.

What are the other two?

lighter gauge D & G. There are also 12 string basses (3 E’s, 3 A’s, 3 D’s, 3 G’s) and 10 string basses (3 E’s, 3 A’s, 2 D’s and 2 G’s or 2 E’s, 2 A’s, 3 D’s, 3 G’s)
