A 17-odd-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 13/11 221/176 17/11 13/8 2/1, with steps of 17/16 208/187 17/16 16/13 143/136 16/13. Every interval is melodically effective, but there are two large steps that each cover more than a quarter of an octave, leaving substantial gaps and no familiar chords, although 221/176 is close enough to 5/4 to be heard as a consonant major third, making the root note the most stable.
