All this double bass matter is probably due to the fact that your bass player friends do play electric bass. They depend on amplification and speakers for the reproduction of their instrument, so when they are playing the lowest notes of the bass they assume that what listeners hear is the first and second overtones and hardly the fundamental, but if you got the bass plugged into an osciloscope, you could see that the sine wave would be of 41.2 Hz (if you could supress distortion in the bass' electric cart), as David has clearly explained, electronic music reproduction has limitations that one must be aware of.
In fact, since frequency doubles when you play the same note of the next higher octave, many people hardly distinguish as different notes the same E of next octaves.
