E string fretted at the Eb (11th), A string at the A# (13th).
Is this a 4th? 
OK - I corrected it - it's not an umbilical cord either.
Hopefully the subject is correctable! CHORD.

| | | | It's a 5th, a "power chord". |

I'm thinkin it's your 5th but written as A# but I would call it a Bb. Eb major has 3 flats in it with them being Ab, Bb, and Eb. So Ab is the 4th with Bb/A# being your 5th.
Hope this helps my acoustic friend!

| | Tuxedo BassŪ - That's Me! | | Join Date: Feb 2010 Location: Hamilton, Montana | | | Thanks - I'm using it against an Eb guitar cord.
The intro to 'Lady' calls for a wispy note at first, but then in the next line I like to toss this in and was just wondering if I was committing some musical blasphemy. |

| | | | Could be D# and A# meaning a D# minor chord only playing the root and fifth... (Key of D# minor would have 6 sharps)
More likely Eb and Bb meaning an Eb Major chord only playing root and fifth. (Key of Eb major has 3 flats.)
I would just call it a weak power chord and call it day.

Is this a 4th? | The way you have it written (E to A) it is a fourth. But Eb to A# is a doubly augmented 4th. Much more likely you are playing in Eb (or D# but thats not very common). So you are playing an Eb to a Bb. Perfect fifth. Boom goes the dynamite

Is this a 4th? | As is, it's just a doublestop.
A fifth.
Not a chord.

Not a chord. | Wrong and wrong. It is a dyad, and specifically as the OP explains it, it is called a "Double Augmented Fourth".
Would you still call it a double stop if it was played on piano?
No. |

No. |
But he's NOT playing it on a piano, is he? Therefore, calling it a double stop is indeed correct.

No. | I can't see a piano anywhere near the thread, let alone the op's post.
Double augmented fourth is fine.
Dyad is alright as well, taking the instrument out of it.
Without any further context and information at all I'd be more than hesitant when asked to call it a "chord" though.

| | | | In modern notation it would be written as Eb5
Root, no third (so neither major nor minor) and 5th (Bb) |
