Does anything differ? Sound Quality maybe? My reason for asking is i've been playing bass guitar for a few years and I'm going to play electric guitar once I get my new Fender. I already have a bass amp and don't want to spend too much more money. Would my Fender sound good with my bass amp and an electric guitar cabinet hooked up to it? Thanks in advance.

me thinks, it wouldnt.
i probably would play but since the bass amp is configured to play an octave lower than an electric guitar, you might have some volume issues.
just adding an electric cabnet, give you more speakers, noe the capability to play and electric clearly.
if you still wanna use the cabnet, go out and buy a head unit, it doesnt have to be top of the range Marshall equipment, but if i were you i would.

good luck.......

I usually play acoustic or electric guitar, and I have calluses from that. However, about every other week I fill in playing Bass guitar in a band, and about two hours into playing (out of about 4 hours) my fingers begin to kill. Obviously, I could play the Bass more often, and build up calluses in the areas where the strings touch, but I don't really have the ambition to do that. So I was wondering if anyone had any temporary remedies, such as tape or whatever?

As you pointed out, the obvious best way to cure this is to play bass more often and build up callouses on your finger tips, however, there are a few things that might help you out.
I play bass, and I used to have a problem with my fingertips blistering during practises or at gigs. An old friend and long time pro bass player told me this tip.
I will take a bottle of super glue with me to practises and on each finger, I put a couple of drops on the tip and rub it against my thumb in a circular motion, trying to completely cover the finger tip. Make sure you don't stay in contact too long because if they stick they're a pain in the back side to get apart. The super glue gives your fingers a rough finish and hardens them up. You can even put multiple layers on for more protection. Once you've finished, the glue will wear off, or you can just hold them under hot water and use soap.
Sounds strange, but that's my tip. Works for me!
