Answer 1

lozer

Answer 2

there shouldn't be any damage done really,as long as ya don't crank up the volume too high...i have a 4 channel crate amp and i can plug two guitars together with a bass and i have been playin on it with two guitars and a bass for well over 4 years now,it still works good...but still guitar amps aren't build for bass guitar frequencies,so i suggest just go easy on the amp if ya want it to have longer life,always turn the bass k**b on the amp to the minimum and keep the volume at a moderate...

Answer 3

It could be because you had the volume low; but guitar amps are definitely not constructed to handle the low frequencies of a bass guitar...using them for a bass is a REALLY bad idea >_<
