There's plenty of 5 string DBs and EUBs out there. As mentioned, a search on the DB side of TB will go a long way.
If you're talking about electric upright basses, I know dean makes an electric 5-string upright bass called the dean pace. my brother and I try out that bass at a guitar center. it's got an interesting design. it's got a long neck, it's got no body
eek: I know...it's weird isn't it), and it has a piezo pick-up. it's got a nice sound. the low b string is a little muddy, but still, it's got a nice sound. there's also a 4-string version of that bass.

I love it. It just took sometime to get the right strings for it. Great sounding and well built, and setup right out the box. Thanks Dino.
