Hi,
I was wondering, when i buy a bass guitar, do i have to buy a separate bass amp or can i plug it into my regular guitar tube amp? Maybe i should buy a small inexpensive one... What say?

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure the reason you're not supposed to use a Bass guitar through a normal guitar amp is simply because the speakers can't handle high output at such low frequencies. Since I can't see that there'd be any electronic reason why a bass guitar would damage the circuitry of the actual amp, I'm pretty sure the speakers are the only problem.
You say you've got a tube amp..is it a head? If so, you can probably buy a bass cab (you might even find you're gutiar sounds better through a bass cab...if you like the way the speakers distort) and use that. even if it's not, you can probably disconnect the normal speaker and replace it with a bass one. Of course, you should
definitely
check this with an
experienced
amp tech before doing anything.
Hope this helps.

Steven's drumming made the band; he made a big musical difference. His sense of swing was the push and pull that gave those songs their feel, afterwards, nothing worked.
