Because when you press on a string it shortens the vibrating part of the string, producing a higher tone. Shorter strings produce a faster vibration or frequency.
Shorten the string. Shorter strings make higher pitches (e.g. violin); longer strings make lower pitches (e.g. double bass).
You should change bass strings when they start to sound dull, lose their brightness, or feel rough to the touch. This typically happens after a few months of regular playing.
A violin is fashioned to have certain pitch strings on it. These strings are G D A E from lowest to highest. Slight changes could be made to the strings and they can be drop tuned, or tuned to a different note, but this changes the intervals between the strings. If a lower pitch is desired then perhaps you should try playing a viola which has the strings CGDA and is a fifth lower than the violin. The cello and bass are also lower in pitch but these instruments are substantially larger to accomadate the deeper tone.
To maintain optimal sound quality and performance, it is recommended to change your bass strings every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you play and the type of strings you use.

their are usually four strings on a normal bass guitar
Some electric bass guitars have more strings, but an upright bass traditionally has 4.
As I posted in your question about Ernie Ball bass strings, It's all a matter of opinion on bass strings. Try some different strings out, or ask around other Gibson players.

Yes, a bass guitar can have 6 strings, although the standard bass guitar typically has 4 strings. Some bass guitars are designed with 5 or even 6 strings to allow for a wider range of notes and tones.
the bass strings have to be thicker than guitar strings because a string needs to be thicker to accomodate more bass. This could make it seem like theyre "hard"
A normal Acoustic/Electric guitar has 6 strings, and a normal bass guitar has 4 strings. There are also guitars with more strings, i.e. a bass guitar with 5 strings.
