There are many variables to consider. Like the gauges of your other string's and the type of string. ie: steel, nylon ,bronze etc.. On standard packages of guitar strings they are usually gauged by the high E string. For example a set of "10's" are called "light" gauge
and range from (low E to High E) 46-36-26-17-13-10 . A set of "9's" would be low to high
42-32-24-16-11-09 So as you can see using a "B" string for a "E" string just means using a heavier gauge string. Some medium gauge and heavy gauge strings are 12 or 13 gauge for the high "E" and a set of ultralight strings have 08 for the "E" and 11 for the ""B" string. So using a 11 for a "e" is like going from ultralight to medium gauge for that one string. Electric Guitars are set up for a certain gauge of strings and if you change to another gauge you will most likely need to do a intonation setup afterword or the guitar won't play in tune all over the neck. You can get in tune on the open strings but when you play higher up the neck the guitar will be more and more out of tune.

Can I combine guitar strings with bass strings on an electric guitar and if so what thickness should I use?
Thought I've never tried this, I highly doubt using bass strings on a guitar would work. First of all, the bass string likely wouldn't fit inside a guitar's tuning peg. Also, the action on a guitar simply wouldn't work with a bass string. As far as pickups go, I'm not sure what bass frequencies would do to a guitar pickup, but i wouldn't try.

Is a fender bassman 60 bass amp good for electric guitar?
It works, obviously has a lot more bass in the sound than the kind of guitar amp you would use for a 6 string guitar. I have used one with a six string, because I like that bass sound. It doesn't have any effects built in, though there is an effect in/out on the back of the case.
