I've done exactly what you are trying to do. Cabinet wise I'm using a Bag End S15X-D. The Bag End is co-axial with an Eminence compression driver threaded onto the back of the 15. It's clear enough to sing through - no kidding. It works really well with the BBand on board electronics in my Larrivee and with an old sound hole style pickup from god know's where stuffed into a 70's Guild that belongs to a song writing friend.
The amp is an EA Micro 300 (Euphonic Audio). It's a two channel amp that allows you to blend two separate instruments as well as channel switch. It is very clear and has a nicely voiced EQ.
By itself it's a nice compact rig - the cab is about 18.5 " square and not very deep. It handle's a bass bump on the EQ and richen's up well. The amp is ridiculous 180 watts into 8 ohms, 300 into 4 - all in a 2.5 lb, 5.5" x 8.5 x 2 " box. Looks like a toy - doesn't sound like one though ...
1 amp, 1 cab, bass & acoustic guitar covered. I'm going to try this with a small mixer soon and see if we can cover guitar bass and voice together.
In it's bass rig incarnation, I add another 15 and get 300 watts into 2 15's. It's a good real world setup for duo gigs and it can morph to become a small to medium bar date bass rig for a classic rock scene. The EA heads are beginning to show up in the used market in the $375 to $400 range. The cab's are plentiful used in the $400 to $450 range from what I've seens. Note the 'X' model cab is the one with the tweet - to get the acoustic thing going that is pretty much mandatory.
