I want a new amp head for my guitar, but my guitar amp is kinda small and I don't really love it. I have a big bass amp though that I love and have used with my guitar many times. So is it ok to plug a guitar amp head into a bass amplifier?
Answer
Your terminology is unclear. An amp head is just the part into which you plug a guitar or bass; it uses wall power to produce a higher-power signal but does not have speakers. You plug an amp head into a speaker cabinet.
A speaker cabinet has one or more speakers and a jack on the back into which you plug the cable from the amp head. The cabinet doesn't use power from the wall or have any switches or controls.
A combo amp has both the amplifier and the speaker(s) in one box.
...
Bass cabinets do not produce the high-frequency sounds that most people want for guitar. Many bass amps are flatter than guitar amps and don't produce the same electric-guitar sound that you'll expect from a guitar amp.
You're less like to damage anything by using a guitar with a bass amp & speaker than by using a bass with a guitar amp & speaker, but still be careful if one component is much bigger than the other.
