Sure ... they can even be used to amplify electronic keyboards, too.

bass amps are not able to handle the high frequency that a guitar puts out. yes it will work for a little while but I would not go out a buy a bass rig to play guitar on. Guitars and key boards can be used on a bass amp. don't spend money on it though. a bass amp is made for low frequency. keyboards go from low to high so the only way to really be safe and get the right sound for a key board is to mix the keyboard and used different amps that are channeled for the right freq. if you play guitar, buy quitar stuff. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the fender bass man is a bass amp that is one of the best guitar amps in the world

and also ..........................

bass amps have a full frequency range, they have too to get that sharp slap sound. if they could not produce high end frequency's they would just be a sub woofer ....... so don't pay any attention to the comment " bass amps are not able to handle the high frequency" this dude has no idea the laney hardcore bass amps make great guitar amps especially if you run a multi fx's pedal through them the only thing you should do when using one as a guitar amp is to turn off the compressor - limiter or at least have them so there only just on

Having emerged intact from that tangle... the amplifier's specifications will tell you its working bandwidth, which should cover all the musical frequency range happily.

What you need to think about is selecting the correct loudspeakers for the bass range and the specific amplifier's output power and impedance, and if you are not buying the units as matched system, the appropriate impedance-matching between them.

Watch out for input devices like effects pedals if they use high-gain pre-amplifiers, to make sure you don't overload the amplifier.

Yes you can, but the way the signal from the instrument is amplified and equalized is different, and the quality of sound from a regular guitar amplifier and a bass amplifier is going to be different, as a guitar amplifier is designed to work and manipulate higher frequencies. A guitar amplifier will not be a very effective way to amplify a bass at high volumes, but it will suffice for practice.

What's the difference between bass guitar amps and electric guitar amps Why is it so much cheaper for a bass amp and not a guitar amp?

Bass amps usually contain subwoofers and give more low frequency than guitar amp speakers which are meant for higher frequencies. If you have a bass you want to get a bass amp and and for guitar vice versa. The primary differences are in the loudspeakers and matching, not the amplifiers! If you buy a combined amplifier & speaker unit it's easy because that's all done for you, but why do people muddle speakers with amps?
