i m poor-cheap. i only want one amp for bass and guitar

The only amp that I've ever had success running both guitar and bass through would be this ancient Kustom combo my friend has. Neither of which sounded anything special. But there was alot of unavoidable high-end and some raunch to boot. You might want to try just finding a head that fits the bill for "your sound" and just experiment w/ cabinets. I own a weird Roland Jazz Chorus head of some kind that seems to take to bass/guitar/vocals in a pretty original way. Just run through a generic cabinet. The bassman (previously mentioned) is notorious for getting a decent guitar sound for being a bass amp... so go figure. That is, if we are talking about the same bassman.
I could have been a contender...

I know I'm reitterating here, but:

Ampeg V4 with reverb (you can turn off the reverb for bass, comes in handy for guitar) both versions were the same, they added reverb for guitar -- Super Loud
Kustom 200B -- sounds better and louder with a 4 ohm load (also of note, with guitar it actually sounds better using bass speakers as opposed to a guitar cab).
Fender Bassman silverface or older

I would avoid any cabinets with 15s if you plan on getting usable guitar sounds. Opt instead for 10s or 12s.
