The Double Bass Usually play the same thing so for the last staff should be written Cello & Bass and you can't make the cello play 3 notes like that all the time. It hard and can also be impossible. A 3 note chord is usually done by violin but not to much as well. You should go to www.imslp.org and study some quartets.
For String Quartets the staff's should be Violin I, Violin II,
