with very thick strings like 13-56 (drop tuning strings) it comes close but theres such thing as a 6 string bass. But, get a baritone guitar for the best results as most Guitars you'd have to file down the nut on the neck to make the strings fit and play proper.

a baritone Electric Guitar is a longer necked electric guitar that is designed for bass tunings.
