The same as on a 4 string.
E F F# G G# A which is where the A string takes over and continues up in semitones. The 5th fret of each string is the same as the next string open, except where the B string is involved (the 5th string). If the B is the highest pitched string on the guitar then its open note is the same as the G strings 4th fret, not 5th

∙ 14y ago3rds and 5ths are musical intervals, the same on all instruments. I assume you mean major 3rds, in which case a 3rd is 4 half steps and a 5th is 7 half steps.
Each fret on a base is one half step, so you can count up the frets to figure out what the 3rd or 5th from a given note is.
Another easy way to figure major thirds is to think of a major chord (first inversion). The middle note is a third up from the root and the top note is a fifth up from the root. For example, a C major chord is C-E-G. E is a major third up from C and G is a major fifth up from C.

You can actually buy a set of Baritone 6 sting guitar strings and use them on a bass as well which would take your gauge down to a much lighter set. But beware of your Bass Guitar scale length for a length that will fit.
