i use guitar fx all the time, i use a diditech metal master distortion pedal and an arion chorus pedal, makes no difference to me exept when i play on the e.
The only difference between 'bass' and 'guitar' pedals is the frequencies that they are designed to optimally effect. Sending a bass signal through a 'guitar' pedal will do absolutely nothing to harm the circuitry.
bass will shred guitar speakers when cranked and bass boosted, that's about it. Once guitar players discover this they start to attribute magical powers to the bass that allow it to do anything, from breaking wah pedals, to affecting the weather.............. 
What are bass effects All my effects are guitar effects, except the bass wah. I find that a modified guitar effect is the best cure next to cowbell.

The Big Bottom : Here's the pedal that all you bass players have been waiting for. Designed in conjunction with Magic Dirt, this is a frequency splitter so bass players can use any guitar effects they want without loss of clarity in the bass response. Essentially what this gives you is the ability to add a distortion, phaser or whatever your favorite pedal is...and not have your signal fart out anymore! It takes the clean, driving bottom end of the signal and sends that directly to the amp, and at the same time takes the high end frequencies and runs them through an effects loop, then mixes that back in with the clean signal. It has an in/out and send/return path to mix the guitar pedals in with your bass signal. Runs on 9V battery or use the external power supply. If your a bass player and you use effects pedals, you NEED this pedal.

thats BULL if he says a bass broke his wah pedal. Trust me, I've played a bass through a Morley Bad Horsie and a ProCo Rat (vintage) at the same time, all the equipment was fine.
