Martin Sims’ latest venture, Enfield Guitars, is home to some adventurous designs, including an exciting new pickup system. The company’s Super 8 and Super Quad pickups offer something completely new and unique to the bass playing public. But even without these innovations, the functional aspects of the Enfield stable make for some outstanding instruments. “I am not trying to say that these basses are going to beat all other basses,” says Martin. “This is the Enfield bass and it is what it is. It’s there as an instrument for a working musician because it addresses a lot of the problems that professional musicians have.” We caught up with Martin at his Kent workshop to get the low down on these impressive basses.
