Will an acoustic guitar amplifier work well with an acoustic bass?

I have a Michael Kelly Dragonfly 4-String Frettless and I want to buy an amp for it. I also play acoustic guitar. Can I just buy one amp, like a Fender Acoustosonic? Or will playing an acoustic bass through an acoustic guitar amp burn it out?

If you are playing at home, by yourself. Personally, I wouldn’t want to try to run an acoustic bass through these speakers. There is a LOT more bottom end in an acoustic bass than in a “traditional” electric bass guitar. If you are going to go with one amp, I’d look for one with at least 2 ten inch speakers. If you want to get a guitar amp for some of the effects, that’s understandable, but I think this 1×8 with 1×6 is going to be overwhelmed. Try it with your bass in a store before you buy it.
