What is a bass head?
A bass head is the end of the bass guitars fretboard (where the tuner knobs are). If you are referring to the bass guitar itself, the above answer is correct. It's the top end of the bass guitar, where the machines, or tuning keys are located. If you're speaking in terms of a bass amp, it's the type of amp that does not have the speakers built into the same cabinet that contains the amp. instead, you run a patch cord from the amp, or "head" to a separate cabinet.
Do dean basses work with guitar amps?
Never use any bass with any guitar amp. Guitar amps are not meant to handle the lower register of a bass, and the speakers on your guitar amp will blow out if you try to play a bass through them.
Can you play an electric bass through a guitar amp?
They can plug in and work, but most guitar amps aren't built to give a solid bass output, so sound will be fuzzy/ weak. Best bet is to just get a small bass amp. A 15w Fender Rumble amp is about $150 and sounds great for home practice.
Can you play a guitar through a Bass amp through a guitar cab?
You can but the size of you guitar amp and its speaker will affect the sound. If you have a larger speaker in your guitar amp you'll probably be able to produce more of the frequencies of the bass guitar that a proper bass amp would. Electric bass guitars produce a louder sound than electric guitars so be careful not to blow your amp. Turn the volume output down on the bass guitar. I don't know for sure but I imagine if you don't use care you could probably damage a valve guitar amp by playing a bass too loudly through it.

Can a bass guitar play directly into a cabinet without an amp?
No, a cabinet is just a speaker (or collection of speakers). A speaker needs to be amplified to produce sound. The same is true with headphones; they won't work plugged directly into an electric guitar or bass.
Can bass guitar be played through a fender twin amp head unit into a bass speaker cabinet?
Yes you can, however don't turn the bass up on the amp, because you could risk blowing one of the speakers if there is to much bass being put throught them. But if the bass is relatively low, or in the middle on the head unit, it would be fine.

Can bass guitar be played through a Fender twin reverb?
Yes, you are ABLE to do that. SHOULD you do that? Absolutely not! The speakers in a regular guitar amp are not made to handle the low frequencies that a bass guitar produces. Playing a bass through your twin reverb will result in blown speakers, which, given the amp model, WILL NOT BE CHEAP TO REPLACE.
Can an electric guitar be played on a bass guitar amp?
I can't think of any issues other than the regular guitar amp may not have the size of speakers to give the best bass sound. ------ Guitar amps are made to output guitar frequencies. Bass amps are made to output bass frequencies. If you interchange the two, you will not do damage but at some point the amp will cut out. I believe it was Tony Iommi who used to play guitar through a bass amp to get some really nice bass distortion on his guitar. ------ I believe that after too much use, the low frequencies of a bass may damage the guitar amp. I'd say it's alright to use it with a guitar amp, but try to keep it in moderation.
