Jerry Garcia Used several different styles of "picking" during his life. He was known to hold a pick between thumb and pointer while still using the other three fingers all at once! He also mastered the ability to use a false middle finger; his real one was lost in a wood chopping accident. Jerry also played without a pick and that stems from his roots as a bluegrass or "jug" band player.

Using pick is not a matter of number of strings, it is rather a matter of personal preference or style of music you are playing. With a 4-string bass, you can use both pick and fingers.
Called a guitar pick. But you can use your fingers.
No, Chris uses his fingers, he kinda' rocks them like they are doing a little dance! Hell yeh! He only uses a pick if he has sore fingerlers!

You can fingerpick using your....fingers or pick it using a plectrum/pick. Alternatively you can even pluck it or use a bow on something like a double bass.

No, you don't have to. But I play guitar and I would recommend using a guitar pick. If you don't then your fingers will get sore from blisters. Its not fun. So even though you don't HAVE to use one... USE ONE!!!
