xilddx Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 The fingers of the sitarist I play with. That hole is 2mm deep! Her fingertips are like rock solid clubs and those strings still get through. I will never complain about a stupid little bass blister again! Quote
gary mac Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 That does look particularly painful. I was feeling sorry myself earlier cos of a barely visible blister on my fretting hand little pinky. I do need to man up, so thanks for the reminder Quote

We had a six hour rehearsal today, then she does a 90 minute classical gig at 7am tomorrow in Devon, and then we do the 90 minute full band show in the evening. She's a legend. Amazing musician and a wonderful person. Quote

Mornats Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I used to have a baby sitar. But then I got old enough to look after myself. Already grabbed me coat... Quote

Salt on your Bass? Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 wowza!! I'm such a lightweight. Thats a sign of someone absolutely committed! Very imporessive. Quote
Judo Chop Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I had two blisters on my eyes once, not from playing bass of course but it was still awfully painful Quote

Dr.Dave Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Ever seen those rockabilly slap double bass guys hands?? Now they are a mess. I wouldn't do it. Quote
seashell Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Same with a ballerina's feet. Good luck tonight Nigel. I can't believe you ever make mistakes ! :-) Quote
thisnameistaken Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I put my hand on a nettle fishing my dog's ball out of the Foss this morning, it's still stingy, and I got wet socks. Sitar players have such easy lives. Quote
Jayben Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 That's nothing. I had to walk for a full half an hour this morning. You guy think YOU got it bad.. Quote

KingBollock Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 The worst I've had it was while my wife was away and I decided to dabble in some go faster powder... I played my Guitar for 11 hours straight, without putting it down. Oddly it didn't blister or bleed, but I couldn't touch anything with my left hand for 2 weeks. Which was unfortunate because I forgot every tune that I had learned that night. Quote
