If you are right-handed, rest your right thumb on your E string or on the pickup above the E string (resting it on the E string is usually preferred since this will give you a better reach if you are to use a 5 or 6 stringed bass). Using your index and middle right fingers, move them in a 'walking' motion over the string you wish you play, moving upwards (i.e. from the G string to the D string and so on), resting on the next string after playing the first. To stop the string just played from ringing out, use the other finger on this hand to mute it. E.g. if you strike the D string with your index finger, rest this immediately on the A string, while muting the D string with your middle finger. This will give you the cleanest and most accurate sound on a bass guitar.
No--But the fingerings are very similiar. On bass, every finger is one half-step higher. On guitar this is true also, but there are different strings.
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.

How is a Bass Guitar made?
The bass is considered a guitar... That's why they call it "bass guitar"
Thinking of playing the bass? Pro: Everybody wants to play guitar or drums, so there are less bass players and more opportunities to get into a band. The bass player is the cool guy that stands there without having to go crazy on stage. If you have big fat fingers, guitar can be difficult, so bass may be easier. Con: Requires more finger strength than guitar. Equipment is heavier than guitar. A bass can weight twice that of a guitar, so get a wide padded strap. I guess you just have to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. A guitarist friend told me that he struggled with bass, and was better at guitar. I had the exact opposite experience myself and have been playing bass for about 25 years. I can't get my fat fingers to fret a chord on a guitar, but I can lay down a mean bass line.
