Not necessarily, whether or not a person should be playing a 5 string bass is totally subjective. For some people, beginner or not, that extra string can be too much. For others an extra string isn't going to be much more difficult than a 4 string bass. What it really comes down to is personal preference, if a beginner bass player wants to play a 5 stringer than why not?

A 4-string bass guitar might be a better guitar to buy for the beginner. It is easier to play than the 5-string bass. The 50string bass can be good for more intermediate players. Because of its extended range, it gives off a better quality of sound.

The lowest string on a four string double bass is an E string. If you have a fairly rare five string double bass then the lowest fifth string is a B string.
Yes. Bertram Turetzky's "Duo for flute and string bass" is the most common, followed by Donald Erb's "Miscellaneous for flute and string bass." Any music dealer should be able to search for suitable music.
it is cause the string bass has 4 strings so it belongs to the string family lol :D
The stringed bass/upright bass has the lowest register in the string family. The cello is also a bass string instrument, though it's not as low as the bass.
The highest open string pitch on a bass is a G.
Yes and Yes.
To learn how to pick bass effectively, practice regularly, focus on proper technique, study different styles of music, and listen to experienced bass players for inspiration and guidance.
Given this category, I have to assume you are talking about electric bass guitar. If that is the case, then I can tell you that more bassists still play four string basses than all five and six string bass players combined.
Since you already have a 4-string Fender jazz guitar, you should look at a Rickenbacker 4003 Bass. Rickenbacker makes good 5-string bass guitars that are under $500.
