Favorite Pitch?

Ephus Pitch

 

[Rip Van Dan]

Do you have a favorite pitch? If so, what note+octave, and/or Hz, is it? I like pretty much everything on a bass and contrabass, with emphasis on E0 to A1, by my favorite pitch is A0, or 27.5Hz. Before I get slammed for “not hearing” E0 only “feeling” it, I took a test and can hear it, and yes, the fundamental, not just the harmonics.

I'd say that I like A1 (55Hz) a LOT. That's because it leaves me a lot of room to move across the neck up, down, and across for songs that are done in that key, such as any I-IV-V blues in A.

My favorite pitch is the one that shakes my feet - it depends on what stage I’m standing on.

I guess I should have simply asked what folks’ favorite Hz is, this crowd loves to heckle. All in fun, life’s too short...

Bb concert, the one below middle C or an octave lower. Too many years in bands with horns. I like A 440 for reference tuning on guitars (thanks to Won’t Get Fooled Again by The Who) as well as my base for relative pitch.

Do you have a favorite pitch?

No, afraid I don't. The idea of having a favorite pitch is such an alien concept to me that I've never considered it.

Sparky Anderson: "No matter who wins Game 7, my pitcher's going to the Hall of Fame.*"
Bill Lee: "No matter who wins Game 7, I'm going to the Eliot Lounge."

* He didn't.

A great No-No by the Doc. But for me that stuff is a definite No-No for me.

666 Hz \m/

 

[El_Charro]

Don’t know what specific Hertz it is and I’m too lazy to Google at the moment, but for some reason when I turn on my bass I always have to hit the open E and C on the E string...Don’t know why, but those seem to be “money notes” for me (although for some reason a lot of songs in a minor key “do it” for me...

Thanks! \m/
