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.
Of course, the GB-30 is designed for a bass. In fact, you can play bass without an amp. The only purpose of an amp is to amplify the bass sound. Cheers, Jimmy
Your speakers will blow out. A guitar amp is not meant to handle the low register of a bass. Even on a practice amp.
To emphasize the highs of your bass
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.
it depends on the type of guitar you got bass or electric, any amp will work for electric guitar but not all amps work with electric bass.
The low frequencies of the bass destroy a guitar amp , so use a bass amp.

Possibly. In my experience the bass will not work through a guitar amp?
