The stings for a 6-string bass are the same gauge and tuning as the ones for a 5-string. The only difference is that a 6-string has a 32 gauge low string. The bridge and tuners should work with the 32 gauge string.
Because you are going to be moving all of the strings down one (assuming you want to illuminate the thinnest string), you will be increasing the thickness of all of the strings. You are going to need to adjust the bridge because the neck has a rounded edge and if you don't adjust the string height, you will get a lot of fret buzz.

How do you play hammer ons on your bass without getting a rattling sound on E string?
If you are hammering on other strings and the E string is rattling then it could be a string tension or a setup issue. If you are down-tuning to drop D or lower, you may need to get higher gauge strings to counter-act the loss of tension you are going to get from down tuning; and if setup is the culprit then you may notice buzzing when playing frets normally on the E string as well. Another potential culprit is that you are playing too hard; when I first started playing bass I was all about slapping and plucking and fingering as fast and hard as possible, so when it came time to hammer on I would hit the strings as hard as possible. This can cause the string you are on to buzz or rattle, as well as on other strings. Try hammering on very slowly and softly at first and building speed / impact as necessary.
