OK, this may seem a stupid question,but bass guitar is not something I've ever considered.......
What I want to know is, in standard tuning, how is a normal 4-string bass tuned, compared to standard guitar tuning EADGBE?
And how far below the bottom E (6th) string on a guitar is the top (1st, I presume) string of a bass guitar? In semitones or octaves or whatever.... what I'm getting at, where on a bass guitar would you play the note which is the equivalent of the 6th string open on a guitar?

9th fret of the G (1st) string of the bass or 14th fret of the D (2nd) string, I believe.
The low E on a bass is an octave below the low E on a guitar, and a guitar's low E can be found on the second fret, D string, of the bass. A bass's G string note is the lowest G on a guitar.
So is a bass guitar actually tuned E-A-D-G ?
But an octave lower?
So the low E on a guitar would equate to the 2nd string, 2nd fret on a bass guitar?
