Double Bass is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.

On Double Bass it is most often played as a movable shape you can slide along the fingerboard to reach the right register, with the lowest comfortable position depending on your tuning and reach.

Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on C# or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
