If you don't you are not trying to play hard enough. This is completely normal.

Yes ... totally normal. You're rubbing your fingers against coils of metal. I once had a particularly nasty blister pop before a gig and ended up playing the gig with a crater in my finger.

Your fingers will develop hard patches as required. Just keep playing.

What guitar is easyer to learn electric bass guitar or electric guitar?

When starting a stringed instrument the hardest thing to learn is how to place your fingers on the strings in a comfortable way, most people tend to press too hard causing cramps in their hands as well as do not have an easy time stretching their fingers. Between electric guitar, electric bass and adding in acoustic guitar, electric guitar is the easiest to develop strength in your hands without become discouraged too quickly. Also consider the length of your fingers, smaller hands have a harder time on bass at first. Regardless of your hand strength overtime you will be able to move across the fret board with ease.
