what the hell!?
of course you can
and you can fuckin crank it too
its the same as doing a long ass drone with a guitar and trning up your bass knob on the EQ, you'd blow it
well, same with your bass, if you dig fuzzed out bass, then ya man!
there both guitars, it slike saying if you detune your guitar really far, should you unplug it really quickly!
you do realize there was a time when there wa sno such thing as a bass amp right... this is a newer concept, not too new, but newer
of course you can play a GUITAR through an AMP
whether that guitar plays around the middle C or an octave below it, the damn things are guitars.
but ya, if the bass is wired actively i wouldn't so much suggest it, all them low frequencies being boosted into speakers not quite designed for those particular harmonics to be boosted might get you a smellin the fine speaker smoke.
but other than that my band uses the same rig on bass as guitar, and were young and psycho and turn everything all the way up (ya, we;re a sound mans nightmare, but they deal with it) and it hasn;t failed yet...[NO you can't do that it will blow the crap out of the amp. your normal guitar amop can't take that much bass]
