yes the hofner bass guitar is an electric bass guitar and by the way for your future reference look at the body of the bass or guitar to tell if its electric or not (look for pick-ups) and i would know because i own a 1966 hofner 500/1 violin style bass guitar
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.

Unless you have any special sound modifying program you can use to filter the sound (which I don't even know exists) it's impossible. That's why they call it "bass". It's never going to sound EXACTLY like a guitar. The closest you could get it sounding like an e-guitar is by using a distortion pedal. But it won't help THAT much, just give it more distortion.
The bass has two main parts, the neck and the body. The body is the hunk of wood that sits in your lap (or around there if you're standing). The neck is where you place your hand on the strings to play notes. Hold down a string behind a fret to play a note. The body usually has pickups (the box shaped magnets under the strings), tone control knobs (to customize your sound), and an output jack (to plug the bass in to an amplifier). The bass guitar is tuned an octave lower than a guitar. It can be played fingerstyle (1+ fingers) or with a pick. Guitarists usually prefer using a pick on bass. Because the bass is tuned so low, the neck is much more elongated so if you have trouble reaching on a guitar it will be even harder.
