Guitar -> Bass amp won't blow anything but will usually sound shit. I know it does through my bass amps.
Bass -> guitar amps can blow speakers if you use it at high enough volumes, so it's not recommended. We blew a behringer amp's speaker at school once playing a microkorg synth through it for a few hours. It wasn't really really loud or anything either, we're just badass.
i've been rockin the bassman 100 for guitars for a few shows now (and on our new record). it's a great combo, though a bit dark. you can easily compensate by using the bright switch OR do what i do and use a jaguar.

Yeah, I was just thinking that you could compensate the low end of a bass amp by using an extra trebly guitar output. That makes sense, you can control that tone with your tone knobs without having to worry about the EQ.
yeah, they seem to be pretty much made for each other. on the marshall, i had to use the eq on the gt6 to add a shit-ton of bass just so the jag would sound normal.
my main guitar amp is a 1973 Marshall Super Bass, the bass amp version of the super lead. it sounds fantabulously thick and rich with guitar and is not that far off from a bassman.
the marshall jtm 45 (marshall's first amp) was pretty much a fender bassman, because jim marshall doesn't actually know anything about electronics. an 18 year old dude called dudley craven designed all the classic marshall amps, jim just designed the cabinets and stuff.

Yeah. The tube doesn't really seem to do much. I had a Vox Cambridge 30 and it was very solid state. Cleans were amazing, but the dirty channel on those things blow. I dumped it and bought my Crate Vintage Club 20. There is no sense in having a two channel amp if only one is usable.
But that's bollocks - "Most of what Vox makes is Hybrid?" They have two hybrid lines but their flagship stuff is still the AC30CC and AC15CC combos and heads.
