No.

For about two years my rig was Guitar -> Digitech RP100 -> Bass amp

And I never got blown up or anything :13:

It won't hurt it at all, but I'm not sure you'll like the tone all that much.

Some of the best guitar sounds I ever got was a Les Paul Jr. cranked through a Marshall Super Bass...and NO it will not hurt anything!

used to play my guitars through your bass amp all the time man...it doesn't hurt them at all...but like what has been said...the tone is lacking to say the least...

Y'all might laugh, but one of the best clean jazz tones I've ever gotten has been my sheraton with Seth's through my younger brother's Peavey Minx (1x10 SS 30watt bass amp)
