Yes. It will change the tone of the guitar. Heavier strings tend to give you more of a rounded, bubbly sound whereas lighter gauge strings will give you a sharper, crisper sound. Jazz Guitarists tend to use larger gauge strings whereas shred guitarists generally use lighter gauge strings. That is just one example.

Yes and no. The guitars shape itself is irrelevant completely to a electric guitar except size, the strings tightness affects the tune. Likewise for acoustic except the more/less hallow the guitar, the more/less reverberation(echoing) occurs.

Can you tune an electric guitar to sound like a bass?
Yes but the strings would be like elastic bands and would be muddy to to the point of being almost unplayable. Yes because the 4 strings on the bass are an octave lower than the 3, 4, 5, and 6 strings on any guitar.
You put your guitar strings on the wrong tuning pegs does it matter?
Yes. If you wind the strings improperly it matters. Strings should be wound from the string hole down, (from high to low, or from the hole to the neck). If you do it the other way around, the tuning peg has more stress on it, and is more likely to not stay in tune. Never put more stress on the guitar neck or the headstock than you have to. You will stay better in tune for longer if you string properly.

Length, size and looseness and size of strings.
Are all the chords the same on all guitars?
No. It all depends on what type of guitar you have and what size strings it needs. :)
Can you shred a bass guitar?
It's certainly possible to play pretty fast; things like fingertapping are harder because of the size of the frets and the size of the strings, though, and I can tell you from experience that sweep picking produces a very muddy, bad sound.

the length of the guitar string does not matter, what does matter is the size. what size you use depends on what you play and how well you play. Heavier strings are better for blues and lighter strings are better for metal and rock, lighter stings are easier to do bends on. i would recomend and 11 which is in the middle
Why a felt pick for ukuleles?
Because the strings are nylon and more delicate than the ones of a guitar. The small size also makes it more difficult to install a pick shield without having an effect on the sound quality.
What is better 4 or 5 string bass?
