In reply to z31maniac :

You can play guitar through a bass amp, just not vice versa.

But you should have a bass, anyway.

One of the best bass amps in the world is a JCM800. See also: any Mesa Rectifier. 

Never tried a Mesa with bass but I have tried my Plexi clone.

 

Very Lemmy like

In reply to Antihero :

It's one of those things that, like any big tube amp, depends greatly on how hard you're pushing. 800s and Plexii do the Lemmy thing very well when pushed into it. At lower volumes you can get a very full and clear clean tone. Glassy. 
Rectifiers aren't as glassy, but the low end is tighter and you can push more volume (a LOT more) before things get muddy. 
Not that I currently have the budget to do either, but back in my gigging days we had many more amps to play with. Couldn't afford a cheeseburger after the show, but we had the amps!
