I play usually play a 4 string and actually the 5 string is kinda new for me.
Yes, there are 6 string basses.

Most electric bases were for string for a very long time. Five string and six string popularity seem to grow a lot in the late 80s.

No. I purchased a double base for $300 once. It came from some punk rocker dude that had it in storage. I think animals were living inside of it. I don’t think it was set up well at all. It was incredibly difficult for me to play and I couldn’t even get through blues changes without ruining my hands. I used to think my struggle was because I’m not a big dude, but then I’ve seen petite little ladies burning through jazz songs on a stand-up base. I probably struggled because my technique deficiency and a wacky instrument. I recorded it and then sold it again for $300. 😎
I’m a fan of the acoustic bass, I stick to electric. There’s a whole world of electric Bass in there for me. It’s logistically 10 times easier for me.
