Wiggs,
It aint gonna hurt anything. But it just aint gonna sound good. A bass amp is designed to pass the lower freq's. The speaker(s) and or electronics are not designed to pass the upper mid range or high (treble) freqs.....

Let me add to that just a little in case of future. Your guitar can't hurt a bass amp cuz a bass amp is like a fortress. However, a bass will shred the speaker cone in your guitar amp with very little effort.

What Jag and Bob said.
Might I ask how did you break your guitar amp? What kind of amp is it?
