The resistance, rated in ohm's, must match that of the speaker cabinet. Other than that everything else is a personal preference. I play a Mesa Boogie through 2 older Fender 4-12 cabinets. Try different combinations until you find your "tone", because tone is intensely personal. Only you know when "it" sounds right.
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.

You are not guarenteed to get a great sound, but typically it is possible. A combo amp is just a cabinet and pre-amp/power-amp(head) in one box. If your combo has a line out that you can use to run speaker wire to the back of your speaker cabinet, then most likely it will work. The issue is, will your amp have enough juice to run the speaker cabinets with enough volume? For instance, my head is running 750w into a 4x12 at 4ohms. If were to run a 100w combo power-amp into the signal then I would likely have break up of signal and loss of sound clarity trying to get enough volume to be effective. If your combo has tons of extra juce, however, go for it!
In many cases, yes. Many combo amps have an output jack, usually located on the back of the amp's head unit, that you can simply plug in to an external speaker cabinet. If your amp doesn't have such an output jack, it is still possible to plug it into an external speaker cab. Most combos are set-up like self-contained head and cabinet units. A Fender Twin Reverb, for example, has a cable in the back that attaches the head unit to the 212 speaker enclosure. If you have a cable like this, you can get an adapter so you can plug the cable attached to the head unit into a longer extension cable, which you can plug in to a larger cabinet. One thing you have to do is make sure your amp's head has enough power (watts) to properly power your half-stack cab. If it doesn't have enough power, the cab won't sound as good as you would like.
The speaker grill is velcroed on so pull it off. There are six srews on the top and two on the side. Then slde the head out the back of the unit.
That is personal preference. Ideally a head and speaker cabinet should be from the same manufacturer.
You need a cabinet with a tube amp or you will potentially damage/destroy the power tubes and/or the amplifier.

You don't. Really. Tube amps can kill you if you don't know what you are doing. People die every year by taking apart thier amp heads. If you want to learn about it, take it to a dealer and ask to watch them work on it.
Head light fuse is 20 amp
He uses a lot of different ones. There is no specific amp he always uses. But some of what he has used includes: Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier amp head Marshall JCM 900 amp head Mesa Boogie 2:90 power amp Triaxis preamp Marshall EL34 power amp JMP-1 preamp
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.
8x10 cabinets can usually handle 800-1200 watts, so an amp that can produce wattage close to that is ideal. I believe amplifiers should be stronger than the cabinets, so that the cab is pushed without overheating the amp. Also using an amp that has significantly less wattage will still produce sound, but the amp may overheat if pushed too hard or if it is under the wrong ohm load.
