Krakit

Rzzzzz!
I just picked up the bass again after about three years (I play keyboards mostly, but I need to get my bass chops back)

I forgot about the blisters, ouch.

Here's to fresh calises!:p

Ahh, yeah.
Pleasent little memories of pain and discomfort.
I miss it.

Maybe I should play left handed for a night to satisfy my masocist urges.

They'll heal, Krakit, then you'll be on your way. In the mean time, keep practicing, for hours. :D
 
Flatwound

My bass came with roundwound strings (which I dislike), but I haven't gotten aroudn to buying and stringing up some flats.

I really like the feel of flatwound strings. Far easier on the tender spots.

Yes, much more comfy, but it all depends, later, on the sound you want.

Later.

Make sure to soak those fingers in rubbing alcohol or lemon juice. Pain deluxe

Reminds me of the time I had two warts drilled out of my left index finger..one on the string side and one on the other. Of course I was gigging and playing in a band at the time.

I could have got by with out my pinky for a few gigs but it HAD to be my index finger. Yes there was blood on the strings (and other disqusting debri) but we wont go there.

This reminds me of the Clash song where the song ends with Joe Strummer yelling "I've got blisters on my fingers".

:D
 
I was quoting Paul actually.

There's a Beatles song that ends with Paul screaming "I've got blisters on my fingers".

Carl:p
 
Actually it was George, his voice EQd to sound lower, tape-reversed and then reversed again...

:D

(Seriously, I vote for Ringo too...)
 
Considering that "Helter Skelter" was about as hard as Ringo ever had to work, I'd probably vote him in that clip as well...
