Can I use a guitar amp head for a bass?
If you want to play bass guitar through a bass cabinet matched with a guitar amp head (maybe you want to add more distortion or other "guitar effects" to your bass?), that should work fine as long as the power and impedance rating between cab and head are optimally matched as described above.
What is a Class D bass head?
The Class-D amp is a type of switch-mode amplifier that consists of three stages: the input switching stage, the power amplification stage, and the output filter stage. ... In linear amp designs, the output power transistors amplify the incoming signal analogous to the input signal (same signal only louder).
Can you play with just an amp head?
As a general rule, you cannot play guitar through just an amp head. The head makes no sound on its own. In fact, using a tube amp head without a speaker connected is dangerous, and can seriously damage the amp. The head requires a load to distribute its power, usually provided by a speaker cabinet.
