Contrebasigender is a xenogender and specifically a musicagender which is based around double basses and their music. It has two possible definitions:
- A gender based around double basses, their aesthetics, and at the core, double bass music and sounds. Since every instrument can be made to produce different kinds of sounds, this could be a diverse gender experience, but the general aesthetic of double bass music, extremely deep, lowly resonating tones, among other musical aesthetics, are the core of this gender.
- A subset of genderpiano where someone's gender is affected by playing and/or listening to the double bass. One may feel their gender more strongly or feel a different gender/gender identity entirely when playing or listening to the double bass. For example, one may be a demiboy normally, but be juxera when playing to and/or listening to the double bass.
Someone who is contrebasigender could also be both of those definitions as well as either one of them.

Flag
The contrebasigender flag was also designed by Reign of the breadsticcs on March 8, 2021. The deep red/brown color scheme of the flag represents the traditional colors of double basses, and the richly dark shades of each color represent the extremely deep and low tones most commonly associated with violin music.
