Maton Guitars Solid Road Series SRS-808 - 16565

The Maton SRS-808 incorporates solid Victorian Blackwood back and sides and a Western Red Cedar top. The SRS-808 has simple appointments, and combines the warm, full tones of Blackwood with the top end sparkle of Cedar.

A forward shifting of the X braces and the shifting of scallop peaks to nodal points around the soundboard help to enhance the vibration of the top. The shifting of the X braces also allows the inclusion of a second, parallel tone bar which allows the scalloping of both tone bars, and spreads the load while reducing mass.
 
Adjusted bracing heights as well as a locked 15 foot radius for the arch of the back, gave the plate resonance separation they were looking for between top and back.
We now have the full, open, lower frequency response as well as a crisp, well defined treble response.
 
This model is very popular with fingerstyle players who work with a lighter string attack, suited to the responsive Cedar soundboard for excellent dynamics with subtle playing. Yet with the standard factory setup, the SRS-808 is not shy with a flat pick!

The Maton AP5-Pro Electronics

In its 5th generation, the AP5 Pro features an internal Microphone and 6-Piezo bridge input, with controls that allow for blending of both microphone and piezo levels prior to sending the actively combined signals through the well engineered pre-amp.

The highly selective cardioid microphone system allows for much greater microphone level before feedback in live environments. This upgraded AP5-Pro microphone is direct mounted to the pre-amp casing with an adjustable arm, which permits easy final tweaking of microphone position to suit the individual artist's playing style.

Using the ‘Sweep-able Mid’ controls. Mid-range is sweep-able from 600Hz to 2.4kHz and can be cut or boosted within this range. As a general rule we start out with all settings ‘flat’ then alter them to achieve the desired tone & presence based on the venue or recording environment. For example, an open, natural sound can be achieved by setting the frequency control at 1.4khz and the boost/cut control at 5db. Alternatively, for a ‘thick’ lead sound boost your Mid's by 5db and set the frequency dial at 1.7kh.

A Nice Size Versatile Tote/Bag/Purse
This GEMIU Canvas Hobo Crossbody Bag for Women Casual Tote Shoulder Bag Large Messenger Bag for Travel is a nice versatile tote that can be used as a purse, a work bag, or a travel bag. It is light-weight, made of a medium thick canvas, and can fit a laptop or iPad as well as other items, although it doesn't have the protective cushion for electronics. There are two deep pockets on one outer side, and the other outer side doesn't have pockets, but you can see the stitching from the inner pockets. Inside the bag, there are two pockets on one side; one is zipped and it sits on top of the second open pocket. The main compartment zipper goes beyond the bag so it allows the mouth of the bag to be opened all the way. But with this type of zipper, there is a small opening that remains at the end. The straps are easily adjustable to allow wear as a purse or crossbody. I typically like having smaller purses so I don't have to carry heavy things, but when I go on vacation or visit out of town, it's nice to have a bigger bag to carry things I don't normally carry in my purse (e.g., power bank, umbrella, water bottle, etc.). I can fit my smaller purse into this tote and carry some additional items in it - it's the best of both worlds. The bag does have a slight smell when I first took it out of the plastic package, but it dissipated over time.

Good hobo bag
Color: Grey
I love a good hobo bag for its laid-back style and functionality. It’s spacious without feeling bulky, and the slouchy design gives it that effortless, everyday vibe. There was no odor,material is a good thickness, not sure on durability since I just started to use it. The bag was bigger than I expected.

Strong stinky odor
Color: Army Green
I cannot share the stink of the purse. It fills small rooms with its odor. The bag is okay, but needs to be washed….

Perfect size!
I love a good large hobo bag! This one has a great slouch to it and you can fit a ton in it! I've had everything from my iPad and a makeup bag plus yoga clothes and still had room for a water bottle too! The fabric is gorgeous and although I'm not always keen on logo-prints, I like that the bag's print is so understated and discreet.
