Yes. It might make things a little more challenging and you may never be able to do the super-complex stuff, but if you don't let that keep you from enjoying it, i don't see any reason you couldn't be a successful bass player even if you are missing a couple digits.
It depends which hand is missing a finger. If you are right-handed and it's your right hand, you'll be pretty much fine, but you might have trouble if it's the left since bass frets are notoriously large and one wants all the fingers one can get. However, I see no reason why you shouldn't be a perfectly capable bassist - and it is generally possible to train oneself to fret with either hand, providing one has discipline.
With a small bass! Forget your dreams about a Fender Jazz Bass if you've got small hands.
Go for a short scale and a thin neck - look for a Gibson SG or a Fender Mustang, they have a 30" scale, which makes them a lot more comfortable to play with when you have tiny hands.

There are two options: If you are talking about bass drum. . .Two bass drums with a pedal attached to eachA single bass drum with a double bass pedalIf you are talking about upright double bass, it can be plucked with the fingers, or bowed.
You still can play the flute, just you have to adjust your fingers to play effectively and keep the fingers on the holes. But if you really want to play the flute, but can't, you can still play the piccolo or a treble flute, they're just flutes but smaller, higher, (and in the Treble flute's case) tuned in a different pitch!
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.

you pluck it with your fingers or bow it with a bow.
If you are referring to how people strum the bass. It is a matter of preference and there isn't really a dominant way to play the Bass Guitar. Which ever feels more comfortable is the way you should choose. I play the Bass myself, and I prefer a pick. I also play, and I use fingers only. I place my thumb on the pickguard and use my first two fingers to pluck.
You can, but it's better to use your pointer and middle fingers.

Yes. You need an amplifier, a patch cable, and fingers (probably).
Well, there are many types of guitar, acoustic, classical bass and electric. I play the acoustic and classical. Those are quite easy to play. With the bass there are only four strings whereas the rest have six. Bass does hurt your fingers and doesn't sound as nice on it's own compared to the rest.

to finger a bass guitar, you rest your thumb on one of the pickups and pluck with your fingers. that is for the E string if you play on the A String you move your thumb down to the E string and play every time you p;ay on a string, your thumb will be on the string above it.

You do not play bass like Santana. You can not play bass like Santana. First, you must learn to play the bass. Any classical bass player could use the techniques Santana uses, only he uses them in a different way.
