George Harrison liked the Kamaka ukuleles. He played the concert size as well as the the tenor, both a 6-string and 8-string. He often would go into a music store on Maui, Hawaii and buy every Kamaka in stock to give to his friends. He was known to have given them to John and Paul and recently Paul has been playing his.

No, though some can be used for both depending on the size and type. Metal strings are seldom used on an ukulele as the instrument is not designed for the stress.
The only thing I know you must have is an ukulele. Some people play with a pick, but most just use their fingers.
Technically, there isn't a bass ukulele. The lowest is the baritone, which is tuned DGBE. If you use a guitar bass or U-bass, it is tuned GDAE.
