Yes, it's the way they're constructed. (To start with, notice that the violin, viola, and cello have round "shoulders", but the double bass has the same sloped shoulders as the viola da gamba.) Also, I think, the bowing technique.

Last night I did lean against a wall a bit.

I'm told there's something important about proportional body dept and curve of the back of the instrument.
