Welcome to GN, Starchild.
That's not a dumb question. Actually, it is asked quite often.
Playing a Bass through your guitar amp will not hurt it as long as you keep the volume low.
However, you will not be happy with the sound, and will be tempted to raise the volume. DON'T!
It may not hurt the amp, but your speaker(s) is not designed to handle those low frequencies. Ripped cones never sound good.
If you are just learning Bass, there is no shame in buying a $69 DRIVE amp from MusiciansFriend.Com or elsewhere.
