Bass Guitars used by Nik Kershaw on The Riddle
In this photo taken from International Musician & Recording World March 1984 issue, Nik Kershaw can be seen playing a Wal Mk. 1 bass, though it's not mentioned in the article included. Nik Kershaw did most of the bass parts on Human Racing, but on The Riddle he played on two tracks while the rest was sequenced or other bass players were brought in.
In Guitarist magazine December 1984, Kershaw admitted to cheating loads with his bass playing by using vari-speed. For example, the bass part in "Gone To Pieces" was recorded at half-speed.
