That said, a good player can make any rig sound good, so if you can't access a good tube amp, then of course, use the bass amp.

I believe you know when you need new gear. And until you know, including your ear being to tell exactly what aspect of your sound you need to change, don't spend the money.
I played through a mini-brute as my favorite blues amp, when my only other options were a Marshall combo and Roland JC-120. It fit what I wanted better than anything else I had. I kept it until I found a Boogie that did exactly what I wanted.
The bass amp will work until it doesn't. And since this seems to be a new "venture", I wouldn't spend a cent.
