Over the past year I have started a 2-man act between myself and a drummer. I am playing through an RC30 loop station and using a Boss whammy pedal for pitch shifting... essentially, I use it to throw down bass lines, turn it off and play guitar on top of it. My outputs from the loop station go to a line 6 spider II for guitar and a peavy bass amp. Gives a genuine bass sound, REALLY sounds like a full band when we play. Really slick. Here is the problem... I am very aware that playing a bass through a guitar amp is terrible for the speakers. I have had a lucky streak in not blowing any until yesterday. I'm looking for a workaround to keep our 'band' up and running without paying out the rear end replacing speakers. I've looked around the web for some sort of frequency-limiting/filtering thingamajig, but haven't had any luck... any ideas?

Any EQ pedal that lets you roll off the lows in any significant fashion should be ok. Something like this perhaps: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BEQ700.aspx

Honestly if your using a whammy for pitch shifting your probably not pushing out levels that would harm your amp. That said if your really worried about it eq pedal is the way to go.

That is assuming that you were saying that you are pitch shifting the guitar to simulate a bass
