Thanks, Simon,
but - when I open an older document, say, Finale 98, I still get 6
string guitar and nothing other. No matter if at home or on my PC at
school, it won't work. I do a lot of band arrangement. And now I have
a bassist who can't play notes well but is all right with tabs. So I
would like to open the older documents, delete everything but the
bass, add a bass TAB and copy and edit the fingerings.
If I could copy the bass line into a new document and getting
everything, including repeats and so on, ok, this would also work as
a workaround, but even if I select "everything" everywhere, I won't
get everything copied.

After setting the staff to tablature with 4 strings etc. etc. go to ...
STAFF STTRIBUTES > NOTATION STYLE > TABLATURE
... and make sure you check the following box ...
On "OK", Reset Staff's Attributes To Tablature Defaults
... and click RETURN ... then tell me if that did the trick.
It bamboozled me initially! That's the only illogical bit you have to
do. It that's not it then I resign my crown as grand high magus of
tabbage. I don't think it's a bug you're suffering as I can get bass TAB
in all Finale versions.
