Is Bass Guitar easy to learn when you can play acoustic and electric guitar?
From a musical theory standpoint, it should be very easy, as all the rules still apply. Using a pick will make the transition easier, and if you do, make sure you use the thickest pick you can find. Not learning to fingerpick will really limit range of sound you can achieve with your bass, so I recommend that you practice using your fingers. The larger gage on the strings and bigger frets will only be a temporary problem, and you’ll get used to it before too long. Another difficulty you might have is just finding your place the song as a bassist. After playing guitar for so long, you might not be used to locking in with the drummer and following the rhythm, instead of providing the melody to the song. However, that same guitar mentality could also help you in avoiding the boring nothing-but-eighth-notes style of playing that plagues a lot of bands. But no matter what I say, you should learn bass just for the experience, just enjoy yourself while you do it.
