contents We give upper and lower bounds on the Chevalley-Bass number of a field of characteristic zero, whenever this quantity is well-defined. We also describe an algorithm which computes the Chevalley-Bass number of a field, provided its maximal abelian subextension is known. As a primary application, we improve the value of a constant related to exponential diophantine equations.
