PS McCartney's Dear Prudence doesn't count because, as we all know, he has a prosthetic left arm

Funny that because the guy in your video is playing with a prosthetic arm of his own in the guise of a synthesised line playing along with his own playing. He’s not making that sound all himself, it’s the electronics. It's fine, just bass line, btw.
