Too Shy - Kajagoogoo Bass Cover - Neil Newsome

Hi Peeps,
Here's one the most iconic tracks of the 80's from Kajagoogoo, which also happens to have a quality bass line from Nick Beggs.
Plenty of chorus on there for the true 80's slap sound. Thanks for watching folks.

Also transcribed and made available to have a go at on Soundslice.

If you would like a PDF of the transcription to practice wherever you like, then you can get it here by buying me a few coffees:

Bass: Roscoe SKB 3005
Strings: SIT Foundations Nickel
DAW: Logic Pro X

Nick Beggs glissando on bass was UNHEARD of in early-1980's popular music. I love Limahl's singing voice too. The song "Too Shy" is a masterpiece

One of best bass lines ever! Some people wrote this song off as trivial back in the day but for me Nick Beggs funky base line was amazing. Just one of the many reasons why the 80's were so Fantastic job, really enjoyed!

The 80 was without doubt the decade of funky bass, ,it was everywhere

Nick Beggs is an absolute legend. One of my favourite bass lines of all time, and you did it justice!

[gileswatling]

Ah, cheeky ‘I nailed it’ grin at 01:22. And why not. Because you did!

[ubettawrkbtch]

That bass line is complete FIRE🔥 Very well done!!! People think of this song as just flashy pop when in all actuality it's very complex, layered & incredibly sensual (imho). You did it justice!

[DerBomster]

Ten-year-old me simply enjoyed the song, fifty-year-old me suddenly understands why... I love Nick's bass lines....

When music lovers like you help producers like me dive deeper into what makes a vibe a VIBE.. thanx bro..this was truly worth it!

Impressive. Note and tone perfect. Years from now I will be able to play every fourth note. #nickbeggs is so underrated. Superb percussive riding basslines.

Awesome cover!! Nick Beggs' bass intro is funky!

I love that bass. Whatever effects you have on your bass rig is absolutely amazing.
