Can you connect a bass guitar and a keyboard to a bass amp?

The short answer is Yes. However, a BASS amp i s intended to amplify low frequencies and all of the tone controls are designed to enhance these frequencies. The speakers are usually designed for the lower frequencies as well, so you will find that the keyboard will not sound as detailed as it might if used with an amplifier designed for guitar or keyboards, as the upper frequencies of the keyboard through a bass amp will be attenuated.
