Electric guitar through bass amp?

Does anyone know if playing an electric guitar through a bass amp would damage the amp?

It will be just fine! - What kind of music will it be used for? If you are using distortion pedals and the speaker cabinet has a tweeter, you might want to turn it off (or down) so the distortion doesnt sound too harsh.

don't expect tone nirvana, ive done it a few times and wasn't too impressed. Josh Homme however shows that guitar amps thru bass cabs can sound killer.

Paul Kossof, Marshall 100w Superbass and Bass 4x12, I think volume was not an issue though.

I plug my semi acoustic g***ar into my combo regularly & it sounds pretty good to me (for a bass combo) & sometimes I'll put vocals thru it too (via mixer).

Geordie from Killing Joke, and Burman Pro 4000 bass heads!

No problem, I used to play with a guitarist who used a Les Paul through an old tan Fender Bassman combo. It sounded magnificent.
