RG was probably trying to take the context into account. The query
was about designing fx pedals, and there’s no way (or reason) to
maintain high precision on eq center points or whatever. (What *are*
you doing, anyway, Ryan?)
So…here’s a chart of bass and guitar frequencies:
E = 41.20 hz <- E string on bass
F = 43.65 hz
F# = 46.25 hz
G = 49.00 hz
G# = 51.91 hz
A = 55.00 hz <- A string on bass
A# = 58.27 hz
B = 61.74 hz
C = 65.41 hz
C# = 69.30 hz
D = 73.42 hz <- D string on bass
D# = 77.78 hz
E = 82.41 hz <- low E string on guitar
F = 87.31 hz
F# = 92.50 hz
G = 98.00 hz <- G string on bass
G# = 103.83 hz
A = 110.00 hz <- A string on guitar
A# = 116.54 hz
B = 123.47 hz
C = 130.81 hz
C# = 138.59 hz
D = 146.83 hz <- D string on guitar
D# = 155.56 hz
E = 164.81 hz
F = 174.61 hz
F# = 185.00 hz
G = 196.00 hz <- G string on guitar
G# = 207.65 hz
A = 220.00 hz
A# = 233.08 hz
B = 246.94 hz <- B string on guitar
C = 261.63 hz
C# = 277.18 hz
D = 293.66 hz
D# = 311.13 hz
E = 329.63 hz <- high E string on guitar
F = 349.23 hz
F# = 369.99 hz
G = 392.00 hz
G# = 415.30 hz
A = 440.00 hz
A# = 466.16 hz
B = 493.88 hz
C = 523.25 hz
C# = 554.37 hz
D = 587.33 hz
D# = 622.25 hz
E = 659.26 hz <- high E string at 12th fret
F = 698.46 hz
F# = 739.99 hz
G = 783.99 hz
G# = 830.61 hz
A = 880.00 hz
A# = 932.33 hz
B = 987.77 hz
C = 1046.50 hz
C# = 1108.73 hz <- that's it for 21-fret guitars
D = 1174.66 hz
D# = 1244.51 hz
E = 1318.51 hz <- unless you have a 24-fret guitar
