| | | | On VH-1's Bands Reunited, it looked like Nick Beggs was using a Fender Jazz...he had it sounding pretty decent in a live setting.

I used to have whatever album Too Shy was on. I had it on cassette tape and I would listen to it while I was working.
I couldn't afford a real Walkman but I had a Walkman style cassette player.

There's no way you can just buy a pedal and sound like Nick Beggs!!

| | | | Not that it matters. But I seem to remember him playing a Pedulla bass in the "Too shy" video. Not exactly a one bass man

In the Bands Reunited show, VH-1 set the drummer up big time-
The drummer owns a sound reinforcement company...he rents equipment for shows, etc.
The show's host is talking about a certain '80 band that is uniting with all its ORIGINAL members...he tells the drummer-turned-businessman that the '80s band that's doing this reunion show is Kajagoogoo. The drummer acts uninterested; the host sez, "You have heard of them, right".
He replies with something like "Uh, no...who"?
Anyway, I guess you hadda see it...long story short-
The show went on with the drummer playing very rudimentary parts on electric drums.
The show also touched on how the lead singer wanted to stay the course with the Poppy '80s stuff...Beggs, guitar & keys dudes wanted to go off in a more musician-friendly vibe.
