It all depends on the application. There are some guys that run both a bass amp and a guitar amp together. The four major ones I can remember that have done that are dUg Pinnick (Kings X), Stanley Clarke, John Entwistle, and Chris Squire (Yes). What will happen is the limited frequency response in the guitar amp can act like a crossover so that you will have that fuzzy top end while still having a clean fundamental low end. Also since most guitar amps now a days have 2 channels you can have clean and distorted high ends.

Also it depends on the amps. Think about it like this since the Nu-metal thing has started happening there has been a phenomena of guitarists severely detuning and/or playing detuned 7+ stringed guitars leaving that low string the same as the A on your bass. Guitar amps have had to adjust their designs to facilitate this trend.

Peace Out,

For most applications, yes, you should use a bass amp.
