D is the third string from the top, open.
C is the second string from the top, third fret
B is the second string from the top, second fret
F# is the first string from the top, second fret
G is the first string from the top, third fret

Depends. The previous answers given here are correct, but remember that you can increase the note by one octave by moving 12 frets up from that note on the same string, or by moving up 1 string and 7 frets (Does that make any sense?). The resulting note will sound higher in pitch, but a D one octave higher is still a D.

assuming standard tuning on a 4-string bass...
D is the 5th fret on the 3rd string (strings are numbered from the bottom up)
C is the 3rd fret on the 3rd string,
B is the 2nd Fret on the 3rd String,
Fsharp is the 2nd fret on the 4th string,
G is the 3rd fret on the 4th string

My son takes bass lessons..in fact we are waiting for his teacher to arrive right now......
Ok, bottom string is 4th string........
D: it depends if you are tuned in drop D then it's open on the top string (the string closest to the top of the guitar) or it can be open 2nd string
C: 3rd fret, 3rd string
B: 2nd fret, 3rd string
Fsharp: 2nd fret, bottom string
G: 3rd fret, bottom string or open fret, 1st string

Assuming, based on guitar strings.
The 4 strings on bass, if they're same as guitar's lowest 4 are as follows:
E, A, D, G
D is 3rd string
C is 2nd string, 3rd fret
B is 2nd string, 2nd fret
F# is 1st string, 2nd fret and 3rd string, 4th fret
G is 4th string, but is also 1st string, 3rd fret
Hope this helps

All of these notes are in the first position your best bet is to go to borders and get a book on bass guitar positions and whatever other type of bass playing you into. study it and keep on progressing. rock on!

Sorry mines a lead.
There is soft ware like guitar-pro that show the scales.
