the bass amp has a bigger and heavier speaker to reproduce low frequences, so it wont be able to reproduce the sounds of the guitar except for the lowest ones. you will neeeeeeeeeeever get the sound of bass just because of the amp.
but be careful if you plug a bass into a guitar amp you can blow it because the speaker will try to keep up with the frequences and it will make it blow.
there are some guitar pedals that will change the pitch of your guitar to make it sound lower, not precisely as a bass but very similar.

It will sound terrible & more than likely blow the amp. The tones & frequencies of a bass are MUCH lower than what a guitar amp can hold (precisely one octave which is enough to fizzle the thing). Arguably playing the higher frets of a bass will manage, but it will sound terrible & still runs the risk of blowing. As for the headphones, no that won't help change anything. Basically all that is doing is re-routing the sound to your headphones instead of out through the speaker in the amp, it still follows the same process of changing the vibration & energy into audible noise & still can't do it right on low frequencies.

It will still play but the sound will be really bassy.
If you think about it, a bass amp is designed to produce more of the bass frequencies. Where as a guitar amp will give you a wider spectrum of sound i.e mid range and treble.

nothing much.....a bass amp is set up for bass sounds...it would sound much the same as if playing through an ordiinary amp...except certain overdrive functions, reverb wont be as responsive as you would expect....in summary a bass amp is set up to deal with the lower frequencys that come from bass guitars but will not alter the sound of any instrument keyboard, guitar or mic that goes through it

The guy from Grip Inc. used a bass amp. It makes your guitar sound more bassy, of course, but can give you that scooped out mid sound a lot of the metal guys use. Experiment.

Musicien has basically told you what I would have said. I used to play my guitar thru a small bass practice amp and had no trouble at all. Still sounded ok. The distortion pedal sounded wicked.

You get a bassy sound. If it sounds good to you then go with it!
