I have just been listening to that song and totally agree. The bass is subtle and under the radar, but totally genius. Especially the last minute or so.
I have a medium scale (32") five string acoustic bass guitar (ABG). I want to string it EADGC, not the usual BEADG. So I need to get a six-string set and toss the B.
All medium scale sets for ABG are 4- and 5- string, nothing with a high C.
All six string ABG sets are for long scale only...
