would a cheap, high wattage, solid state amp be damaged itself by running abass through it into a bass cab? ie bass>something like one of those cheap crates>bass cab

On quizzing the guy (bassist with Glasgow blues band "Big George & the Business") I discovered he was using a 65watt peavey bandit thru 2, 2x12 H+H cabs

thanks....im gonna see if my friend will let me try this out with his cab sometime.....
