Score a good older used keyboard amp with independent channel EQ/FX like the Peavey KB4/KB5 or Fender KXR200: loads of power/headroom, true full-range response (you're not rolling off the bottom octave, nor are you dealing with the nails-on-a-blackboard treble typical of many dedicated acoustic amps), and they'll handle more than one instrument at a time - think of them as a budget (and much heavier - you'll definitely need a dolly/handtruck/casters) alternative to the well-respected Carvin AG300. Used to rent the Fender regularly during the mid/late-90's - handled guitar/bass/banjo/mandolin with equal facility (4-band EQ on each channel) and tons of reserve power, and I'm sorry I didn't buy one at the time...
