Yes, you can play a guitar through a bass amp. Bass amps are used to amplify keybords or even violins. However it does influence the kind of sound you get. The bass amp will make your guitar sound a tad deeper. The sound will not be as rich as the sound you might from a guitar amp, especially if you use effects. Think of it like this: when you use a normal guitar amp, you'll get CD quality sound (light, crisp) and if you use a bass amp, you'll get LP quality sound (not worse, but a tad deeper).
Some jazz guitar players use bass amps in order to give themselfs a deeper, more jazzy sound, but other then I think that a bass amp for a guitar is suitable for practice and practice only - unless you want to experiment, that is.
