Sorry, this thread again.. This one seems a little more obscure. I looked through all the basic 'eastern' scales like the arabian ones, gypsy ones, hungarian, persian, etc, and couldn't find it, nor could I identify it as a mode of any of those though I didn't look as thoroughly as I could have.

1, b2, 3, b5, 5, 6, b7

I know it's not really that useful to have the name of the scale, I mean I have the scale right there and I can use it already, what good is the name, right? But it would be nice to know so that I could look it up and see what other people have done with it.

I guess I'll just have to call it a major scale with a flat second, sharp fourth, and flat seventh.

Anyway, it sounds weird and I like it.

Thanks.
I found out that it's also pretty close to the Petrushka scale.
