Since I started playing my electric guitar through my bass amp, the amp seems to buzz and distort a little bit when I play my bass with it. I don't know whether it's just my imagination, but could it be possible that playing an electric guitar through a bass amp and using lots of compression and gain mucks about with the amp a little bit?
