if i understand your question rightly,

the srings on a Bass Guitar are tuned E, A, D, G, like the four lowest (pitched) strings on a normal 6 stringed guitar

the frets go a semi tone (half tone) up each time :)

the twelth fret is the same note, but an octave higher than the open strings, and if you have a 24 freted bass the 24th fret is two octaves higher than the open string

hope that helps

There's nothing really "by the book" on this , the first basses had four strings cause of the upright ! Then someone had the idea of adding a fift string and a sixt and more and more... the most i've seen yet is twelve ! As for tuning, i use low F#, B, E, A, D, G, C and if i was to go up to 8 strings i would add a low C# ! Yes there is such a string, i beleive there are two-three makers out there !

What is the thickest string on the bass guitar?

an ordinary bass guitar has 4 strings,the thickest being the E string,the thickness of this string depends on the players prefrence,if youll be downtuning a lot then a heavier string is the best option to help stop strings buzzing too much,it all depends on the style you play and personal prefrence,i use medium gauge strings so the E string is 0.105 inches thick,but depending on the gauge of the strings you buy it will be diffrent If you play a 5 string bass the thickest string will be the B string,again the medium gauge thickenss of these strings is 0.125 inches.as for 7 string basses and above im not sure since ive never had the chance to play them e string or if you have a 5 string bass it will be a b string
