as far as i know its G major i'm playing the bass in
it makes it sort of punch more through the track
usually the sound is best on the "device" you created it through as far as i know, by that i mean either phones or headset, just tweak it through headphones if thats where it sounds bad!

I said I like it dirty, not muddy. |

I guess the question is rather which *frequency*, since you still have the option to adjust octaves or fine-tune with the patch.
If key-follow isn't standard, the notes will also result in a different frequency as played in MIDI.

Unless you have great headphones and are very used to producing on headphones I would not trust them while making bass tweaks - save that for your monitors.
I love checking my mixes on headphones and its much easier for me to adjust stuff in the mid/high zone and do panning stuff, but every.single.time I've tried to adjust bass in headphones it turns out sounding like total shit on other systems.

Question is irrelevant.
There isn't onefrequency in bass sound - it's a whole complex of harmonics. Each combination of synth and patches will generate a different sound, and for that you will use a different note that will sound good.
Work and find a combination that sounds good.
Short answer is (like you didn't know it was coming) - there is no magic formula.
On a side note I'd add that you should have good monitors and more important - good acoustics (with bass traps etc) so you would hear properly what you are making.
