As usual it depends on your version of LilyPond.

Note to all! Always specify which version of LilyPond you are using!

When you use TabStaff it always default to Guitar. if you want something 
else you need to specify it.

Bass guitar (from the doc)

%% -----------------------------------
\version "2.16"

Hope this helps!

PS! The only difference I can see is the \overide StringNumber, which is 
different in 2.16 and 2.17. But since I don't know what it does I can't 
explain it... I leave this for the experts.
