    [Music] Play Bass through a guitar amp?

    Can a bass guitar be played through a guitar amp?

    Only if you want to destroy your guitar amp. The speaker isn't designed to handle such low frequency sound and can be seriously damaged by playing a bass through it.

    yes but it can break the guitar amp if not careful

    You can, but i wouldn't advise it, unless you want to blow up the amp, guitar amps arn't made for a basses deep, low notes etc

    You should do it, it'll be awesome...It might explode if you do it brutally enough.

    It will be be fine if you're not cranking the volume and turn down the bass on the EQ. Basically, don't be dumb and blow out the speaker and there's no problem.
