SOLD

This is my stunning Enfield Cannon 4 string bass with Super 8 pickup & case. I was very lucky to buy this new in 2010, its in excellent condition & has been kept in a smoke free studio. It is set up by Auden guitars.

Martin Simms designed this unique bass in 2008, the quality of components, build & finish is of the highest quality. Martin has finished 3 of my basses over the years. I view him as one of the top bass luthiers.
The Cannon model is top of the range custom built, this one is stunning to look at blending from the sunburst finish front to the blue back...The top is made from English Sycamore that came from Wales. It was from a batch Martin got from a furniture maker who had the wood for over 50 years in his workshop and when he retired sold it on and we were lucky enough to receive a small quantity.
 
It is fab to play and the sound pallet is vast because of the Super 8 pickup design partnership with John East...any question please contact (  have some 2008+ reviews)..this is a wold class bass & a serious investment (I have inc' the price list which is now £5700), so come and try...this is why its a cash on collection

Is there a reason why the A and D string machine heads aren't symmetrically spaced from the centre line of the headstock? I have never seen (or perhaps noticed) this on a 2 + 2 headstock design before.

This set-up will reduce the lateral break-angle of the D-string and the force it exerts on the nut - don't know whether that's the reason for it though O.o.  Hard to tell but it looks like the G string post is inset by a couple of mm too.
