Currently Frescobaldi's Bass and Electric Bass template inherit the basic 
TablaturePart features also found in the other tablature instruments, When 
tablature (TabStaff) is chosen, it presents the tuning option Bass Tuning 
(stringTunings = #bass-tuning). If you choose bass tuning, the TabStaff 
template has four strings. Is that good, or should I add support for other 
options/tuning?

I like to provide UI options for the predefined LilyPond tunings (that are in 
the docs) and I'm a bit reluctant to add custom tunings, but of course it 
would be possible to even create a small Custom Tuning Wizard inside the score 
wizard. Please let me know if that would be an important feature for any of 
you, or if you have any other wishes/bug report regarding Frescobaldi in 
general (or use the bug tracker[1]) or it's tablature instrument support in 
particular.
