Recording bass guitar through electric guitar amp's usb interface

So the question may seem completely dumb.

I've been playing electric guitar for a while. I was able to use my Marshall Code 25 guitar amp's usb to pc interface to record electric guitar.

 

I know that playing bass through guitar amp is a bad idea. However, is it possible to use my amp as an interface for recording bass to my pc without using amp's speaker(so i simply don't damage it)?

 

Thank you!

Yes. It will be fine.  The issue with cabs / combos is that the bass notes push the speaker cone further than its designed to go.  Amps themselves, especially pre-amps, no problems.

This,  but be aware that the tone controls on the amp might not be centred on the right frequencies for bass guitar. 

If you can get it to be approximately flat or get the tone you're after from the bass itself or a pedal,  then go for it.
