Can I play lead guitar through a bass amp?

A lot of guitarist use tube bass heads. Most bass cabs should be ok. Maybe not an Acme Low B2... unless its well broken in.

As long as it's not a Fender Bassman. Those suck for guitar.

I've got a cheap Peavy bass amp that will really bring out the tones....

NO. You'll have to reboil your strings AND the bass amp. Just don't do it.dragonworks said:

Purge is right. He's always right. Well, not always...but he is fucked up on Nyquil...So, Purge needs a ride.

I would HIGHLY disagree with that. A black faced Bassman head into a 2 x 12 cabinet makes a fantastic amp setup for classic rock, etc. No...metal heads wouldn't go for it, but crank that puppy up for some natural "grit", and it is really nice.
I guess you have never plugged into a twin and had it on 10 and still sparkly clean, eh?? just kidding of course, but I would consider that amp much less flexible than a bassman combo, albeit, a twin is a fantastic amp too.

Yeah.
My Uncle plays guitar through a Mesa Boogie 400+ bass head with some pedals infront of it and it sounds incredible, especially for lead.

That depends on the Fender Bassman you're talking about.
The original design (4x10 combo) sounds great for some guitar applications.

Yes, as I explained above, it was a joke, as I'm guessing was dragonworks' original post (he's a kidder). The bassman is a great amp and is a classic for rock guitar...which is why I said it. It's called sarcasm. Look into it.

Thanks for the heads up, I was going to defend my '66 blackface at all costs.
