general rule of thumb

guitar into bass amp = yay

bass into guitar amp = nay

is your M-80 a combo amp or a separate head powering a speaker cabinet? if it's a combo (speaker and amp built in one) then i'd definitely be hesitant about running a bass through it. if it's just a head you can probably make due if you run it into a bass cabinet (wouldn't crank the bass knob though).

from what i understand it's pretty rare to actually blow the amplifier these days regardless of what you run through it. speakers are a lot more fragile though and can be blown with relative ease if you're not careful.
