It'll sound like you're playing through a pillow and your tone will suddenly start to suck. Other than that I don't know.

Listen to some Motorhead and you will find out.

Loads of bass players use distortion.

It depends on the eq, you can make it sound like a guitar with distortion or a bass with distortion. By the way, and I'm sure that you know this, but a bass guitar will destroy a guitar amp. In your post it sounded like (to me) that your plugging your bass into your guitar amp. Don't do that.
Bass guitar is the answer to everything

The amp will be fine it is the speakers that may have problems.
