September 2009

Sorry for not posting any news for such a long time but we have certainly not been sitting on our laurels.

The last few months have been our busiest ever with more basses being made & new dealers opening up.

Thank you for all your upbuilding comments on the Enfields, especially the new Enfield owners who have been sending in there positive feedback.

We’ve uploaded the website with new pics in the Galley as well as streamlining things to make it easer to navigate the site.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at Music Live on the 6th 7th & 8th of November.

We’ll be there with some great examples on show so come over & have a go. We also have a few demo basses available that are not for sale but are available to be sent out on tryout if anyone is curious as to how the Enfield’s feel & sound.

You can now pop down to Graham at Bass World (contact details on the Dealers page) in Tonbridge Wells as he has one 5 & two 4 string Enfields in stock & ready for delivery.

Speak soon & keep the tone coming. Martin.

NAMM proved very worth wile this year with new tonewood suppliers established as well as furthering good relations with all our other suppliers and customers alike. So now we're all ready to move on into the spring.

We were pleased to be with our USA dealer showing of a 5 & 6 string Enfield.

Thanks to Brian at LowEnd Distribution for taking care of things so well.

If you are interested in sampling an Enfield in the USA then please head over to www.thelowend.net & have a word with Brian he is a great guy & will do all he can to help you out.

Hugh McDonald picked up his new Enfield 5 string & was explaining how much his engineer was liking the Enfield in the XLR mode. This allows the full passive signal to go straight to the desk whilst automatically bypassing the pre amp. This gives everything you need to get the ultimate signal to the desk giving the engineer & Hugh much more control.

We are working on another batch of 10 Enfields at the moment. I think they are all spoken for so if you are looking to try one out then please get in contact with me or Brian at LowEnd to arrange a demo.

Speak soon.

Martin.

December 2008

Last month started with a call from Hugh McDonald Asking a few questions about the Enfield basses.

Hugh is the original recording & long time live bassist with Bon Jovi. He was there from the start to the present day.

To say Hugh is just a bass player would be a gross understatement, he’s held in great esteem among the Bass playing and recording industry.

Hugh ordered a 5 string in sunburst with ebony fingerboard, and Maple top.

On receiving his bass Hugh exclaimed how the Super 8 pick up really delivered as well as calling the Enfields “The Aston Martin of basses”

My thanks go out to Hugh and Kelli his wife for there hospitality in sharing there home on my recent visit.

On another note, we are getting ready for NAMM in mid January so I’ll be sure to let you know how we got on.

Our annual Christmas break is from December 24th to January the 5th.

Speak soon.
Martin.

November 2008

Wow! What a show...

Thanks to everyone who showed up to see, hear & play the Enfield’s at the Music Live show this last weekend.

It was truly great to see you all & get all the feedback.

We had 6 new basses on show including our very first 6 string which really did steal the show.

Please take a look on the updated gallery page for a look at what we’ve been up to over the last couple of months.

Thanks to our friend TM Stevens who come over to say hi & check out the Enfield’s, when he heard the Enfield in Split Coil (Red) position he just said “ Well... That’s a P... right there”

Quick news flash for early November. We are now on our own stand at Music Live.

Just to let you know that we are now going to be exhibiting on our own stand at Music Live at the NEC. 7th, 8th, & 9th of November.

There just was not enough space at the Bass Merchants stand so it made sense to get our own.

So feel free to visit us on stand A94 it would be great to see you in person and show you what we've been doing over the last few months.

Speak soon. Martin

October starts of with a big thank you to everyone who sent words of encouragement towards our Enfield Guitars. We’ll have some amazing new stock ready soon.

We are going to be showing a small selection of Enfield’s at the Music Live show at the NEC on November the 7th 8th & 9th. We are on our South east dealers stand BASS MERCHANT so feel free to come over and have a look and a try.

The latest review from guitarist mag can now be seen on this link so please have a read and as always feel free to get in contact and let me know what you think.

Speak soon. Martin.

Welcome to our new web-site & all things news related with regard to Enfield Basses.

Here we aim to keep you up to date with what’s happening & what’s coming up in the future.

This month we’ve had our first official review in Guitar Buyer mag & are very pleased/relieved that they seemed to like what we had made.

Nick (who reviewed it) is a pro bass player himself & was able to take a couple of basses out on the road, so the test was a good way of us getting some invaluable feedback as well as some much needed publicity.

Many thanks to David & Nick for all their efforts (& a great lunch) Please feel free to have a read (now in the reviews section) & let us know what you think.

Speak soon. Martin.

Enfield Guitars was launched at the 2008 London Guitar show back in June.
