Introducing the all new Enfield Antoinette
the Antoinette
Launched in 2020
We wanted to build an extremely playable/versatile headless instrument maintaining many of the renowned features of the Enfield range.
Our Lady Antoinette features a 32” scale length and a 16.5mm string spacing, for a fast and responsive instrument.
The neck comes with a 5 piece laminate construction with premium North American Quarter sawn hard rock maple and phenolic stringers.
Phenolic fingerboards are fitted as standard for its stability and even tone and durability.
A side mounted contemporary speed jack is fitted as standard along with a 4 knob on-board Glockenklang 2 band non-stacked preamp, a 3 band non stacked is also available as an upgrade.
This bass weighs between 3.3-4.1kg and is designed with the perfect ergonomics and balance.
Our Antoinette is fitted with Elites Stadium Series strings in 40-100 gauge.
Electronics
Our Antoinette is fitted with our Sims Super-Quad pickup system, ensuring ultimate versatility. Connected to our renowned Tri-Logic switch’s, ensuring a vast array of tonal capabilities; the Super-Quads truly are your new all-inclusive tone generators.
We teamed up with Glockenklang, providing a 2-band onboard preamp, which is active/passive switchable (volume push/pull). It also includes a pan-pot (no volume dip in centre position), a treble-pot with +/- 18 dB@18 KHz (in active mode) and a bass-pot with +/- 14 dB@40 Hz.
In passive mode, the treble becomes an old-school tone, rolling off the high end to achieve a true vintage sound/feel.
Due to the high performance electronics, in flat position of the EQ you can hear no difference between active and passive mode.
Other preamps are available by request as a custom option.
Hardware
The Antoinette comes with the Hipshot Headless System. The bass comes as standard with 16.5mm string spacing at the bridge.
Neck design
The Antoinette neck is made from a 5 piece laminate construction which includes premium North American quarter sawn hard rock Maple and Phenolic stringers. They are fitted with a double action truss rod as standard, with adjustment at the heel of the neck.
With its slim profile and silky feel, these necks are optimised for fast, fluid and comfortable playing.
All Antoinette necks are fitted with 24 medium-jumbo frets, made out of 2.4mm (0.094") thick silver nickel, and custom made phenolic nuts are fitted as standard to ensure maximum sustain and balance across each string. Nut widths for our 4 string models are 40mm (1.574") with a depth of 21mm (0.827"). The fretboard has a radius of 16” for even response and playability.
Our Antoinette bass comes as standard with a phenolic fingerboard with side edge Dot Markers. Other fingerboard materials are available as well as custom inlay work. Fretboard LEDs are a popular alternative to standard fret markers
Comes with a Hiscox lite flight case.
Added bonus to the Antoinette is that she will fit into a standard guitar gig bag.
