Is there a standard why of numbering or otherwise designating the different octaves on a bass guitar?

are what are the numbers or whatever?


(electric 4-string with 24 frets)Is there a standard why of numbering or otherwise designating the different octaves on a bass guitar?
Okay so basically the other guys are kinda right, but there is a way.


Basically here鈥檚 the rule. 12 frets up on the same string is an octave.


7 frets up on the next string up is an octave


2 frets up 2 strings up is an octave


I鈥檒l lay out the A, B, C, D, E, F, G octaves for you


A: 5 on E, 17 on E, Open A, 12 on A, 24 on A, 7 on D, 19 on D, 2 on G, 14 on G


B: 7 on E, 19 on E, 2 on A, 14 on A, 9 on D, 21 on D, 4 on G, 16 on G


C: 8 on E, 20 on E, 3 on A, 15 on A, 10 on D, 22 on D, 5 on G, 17 on G


D: 10 on E, 22 on E, 5 on A, 17 on A, Open D, 12 on D, 24 on D, 7 on G, 19 on G


E: Open E, 12 on E, 24 on E, 7 on A, 19 on A, 2 on D, 14 on D, 9 on G, 21 on G


F: 1 on E, 13 on E, 8 on A, 20 on A, 3 on D, 15 on D, 10 on G, 22 on G


G: 3 on E, 15 on E, 10 on A, 22 on A, 5 on D, 17 on D, Open G, 12 on G, 24 on G





There you go. From there you should be able to figure out sharps and flats.


Some of those are the same octave just played on different strings, but that鈥檚 a complete list of each of those notes everywhere in standard tuning.Is there a standard why of numbering or otherwise designating the different octaves on a bass guitar?
No, the octaves are not numbered, they are only denoted on the bass clef, but are not assigned numbers.





In other words, they are not numbered, but they are denoted on sheet music based on whether they are high or low.
The STANDARD way is to PRACTICE ENOUGH that you KNOW WHERE THE NOTES ARE on the fretboard... just like with a guitar or any OTHER stringed instrument
