Can playing a guitar through a bass amp damage it?

No, it will not damage the speaker. The high tones of a guitar are simply not capable of damaging your bass amp. Even if the amp isn’t really suitable for these high tones (and in many cases, they can actually play them just fine), the amp will perfectly survive them. No harm there.

Are there acoustic bass guitars?

The majority of acoustic basses are fretted, but a significant number are fretless instead.

Can you connect an electric guitar to a bass amplifier?

Connecting an electric guitar to a bass amplifier is something that I’ve done multiple times when rehearsing with bands, and even though it always seemed to work just fine I often asked myself if it’s really something I should be doing. I assume you have the same question and this is why you’re here! So, without further ado, let’s answer that.

Why don’t I want an acoustic guitar amp?

The number one reason may be that you have an electric amp lying around and you simply do not want to invest in an acoustic one. Or perhaps you cannot afford one. Another major reason can be that you’re looking for a specific distorted sound from the acoustic/electric guitar.

Can I use a guitar amp for bass distortion?

Not only that, but guitar amps usually let you drive the signal in such a way that will create distortion, and they even have “Clean”, “Crunchy” and “Lead” channels, depending on the amps. Again, with a bass amp you will need a Tube Screamer, or any other distortion pedal in order to achieve a similar sound.
