Root on a low string, the fifth beside it and the major third an octave up (a "tenth"). Spread out like this a bass chord stays clear instead of muddy.
The same spread shape with a minor tenth on top — darker, still clean on low strings.
Root, flat seventh and major tenth: the bluesy, unresolved sound, with nothing doubled in the low end.
Root, major seventh and tenth — soft and jazzy.
Root, flat seventh and minor tenth — mellow minor for funk, soul and jazz grooves.
Root, fifth and octave — the bass version of the rock power chord. Lock it with the guitar, or drop the top note and just pump the root.
