No. Cello and Bass are different instruments and therefore they have their own methods of doing things.

Bassists in general, for example, don't use the 3rd finger until after the octave harmonic point. The bow holds are slightly different as well. You also have to stretch further to get the same intervals between notes on the Double Bass.

Of course one can, drawing the bow across two strings simultaneously will produce two notes easily.
