I do as well, @LesterH! I would say I came from melodic rock that developed into prog rock, and from there to jazz fusion (and straight jazz occasionally also). Note, these are my interests - I can’t play all of that on a bass yet - but I want to!
I used to play drums in a prog rock band, and saxophone in a jazz combo and a jazz bigband, but all that is more than 20 years ago and stopped when I moved away because of my job. Until I picked up the bass two years ago, I was mainly a listener/consumer…
So, yeah, jazz rock/fusion is probably my main interest, but I like a lot of different stuff. Typically, metal-based genres were not amongst my favorites, but the folks in here have widened my horizon also in this direction (a tiny bit at least).
Cool! I can’t say the 6-string is my main axe (or likely ever will be), but I got it mainly to challenge myself and to learn more about chords (in general and on bass) and perhaps also to get started on soloing making use of the high F string. What type/make are you looking at?
I tried to start a thread for 6-string players a while back, but so far not much has happened 
See here: Sixers unite!
Again, I am at the start of a journey here, but it would be cool to have someone else interested in some of these topics to exchange experiences and ideas!
Thanks for reaching out, @LesterH!
