I bought a chromatic tuner for my electric bass guitar.
How many Hz should I set it to for proper tuning? It has a span from about 400 to 480

A (440Hz) above middle C is used as a reference in calculating equal temperament. It is considered standard concert pitch in Western music.

440. G D A E from the bottom (small) string. The other settings are for detuning. Tuning the bass and usually the guitars also, sharp or flat. (high or low)

Various bands use various tunings. In pop, 440Hz is a sort-of standard, but in classical and in some "artistic" pop genres you'll find 442 to be common, too.
