Wow, i haven't been on the forum for a while. Good buy, man. Last year i bought a blues jr for the same situation (college apartment but loud enough to jam with friends). I run a Rocktron silver dragon into mine. I had originally bought a Pro jr. I think the Pro had a nicer sound to it, but I decided i wanted the extra features of the blues jr (i.e. 3 band eq, reverb, larger speaker). I havent been thrilled with the stock speaker though...
