Yes, it is possible to do this...although, you won't get as good a sound using a bass amp because bass amp speakers don't have tweeters, so the high notes won't come out as clearly. Something along the lines of a Fender Acoustisonic amp works very well, in my opnion, for acoustic guitar for pretty much any style of music.

Can you play a acoustic electric guitar through an electric guitar amp?
Definitely, there isn't really a distinction between electric-acoustic and just electric amps. You can hook up your acoustic to any amp that has a clean setting, which is basically anything. Just don't plug it into a bass amp o_O
Why is the D string of my acoustic sound so loud when you plug it into an amp?
Probably because the tone settings on your amp or guitar are boosting that frequency range.
How do you make a bass amp sound like an electric guitar amp?
If you are using a guitar amp as a pre-amp to a bass amp (plugging your guitar into a guitar amp, and then patching the guitar amp to the bass amp), do not do this. Bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals (mics) are low impedence, where guitars are high impedence. You can very easily damage your equipment doing this sort of thing. If you are trying to get guitar sounds out of a bass amp, in my opinion, it's next to impossible. There is only one type of bass amp that I know of that you can accomplish this with...Ampeg has a series of bass amps with "switchable tweeters", meaning that they come equipped with tweeters, but you can turn them in order to use rig as a bass amp, and turn them on in order to play an acoustic guitar thru the bass amp. Since an acoustic guitar is low impedence, this works fairly well. You can also plug in an electric to this setup, even tho an electric guitar is high impedence...It's possible to plug in a high impedence instrument into a low impedence amp, but it's not advisable to plug in a low impedence instrument into a high impedence amp.

How is a sound produced in a bass instrument?
Sounds (all of them) are produced by vibration. The faster the vibration, the higher the pitch. Whether the vibration is produced on a string or with air, it's the speed of the vibration, and the length that vibration has to travel that determines the pitch.

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.
Electric bass guitar or acoustic semi electric bass guitar Which one is better?
It is difficult to find an acoustic bass which resonates at sufficient volume to be worth it. That said, an acoustic-electric will make it easier to practice as you won't need to plug it in to hear yourself playing at home. They each have a slightly different sound, but if you can already practice with a full size amp without worrying about the volume disturbing others you will generally find it cheaper to go with an electric bass.
