Not "best metal bass player" per se, but undoubtedly a humbling, impressive display of technique and form that certainly took a lot of dedication. Hats off to the man, indeed.

The title is misleading on this thread.

While we are on the subject of bassists who have triumphed over physical limitations, we shouldn't forget Bill Clements:

I give him credit for playing when the entire world would say "you can't do it", but I don't find it amazing at all as "oh, he's so good" or "wow, that has to be hard", anybody that practices something a lot [or most people] will get good at it, it's like a different technic and nothing else

I know a lot of people won't agree with me, but that's what I think... xP
