Bill Clements, the One-Handed Bass Player.

Bill Clements is a Michigan bass player who lost his right hand and forearm in an industrial accident in 1989. This would have been a career-ending accident, but not for Bill, who started played again 3 months later.

There's a band in Austin called The Flametrick Subs, and their basist, Lefty DeMarco, also plays bass without one of his hands, but uses a different technique. He frets his standup bass with his wrist nub, and plays better than most other bassists. It is nothing less than amazing to watch.

What's interesting is that he actually plays better than most two-handed bass players...
