I'll show you mine...

A gallery of my favorite blisters. As a bass player I have had quite a few worthy of mention. I thought I would start documenting my favorite ones; here are some from this summer. If you have any that you'd like to share lets see 'em!

The bigger blisters didn't hurt at all, just made playing more awkward. The pressure from the blisters under my fingers was pretty uncomfortable. Hopefully that is the last time that happens...

I have never had a blister from playing. My fingers sometimes get a little sore but never had a blister.

I don't tend to get blisters either, but my job gives me pretty heavy callouses on my fingertips, which is rather fortunate.

I don't get blisters either. Maybe when I first started playing, but they turned into callouses and been that way ever since.

Now, get me behind a drum set and I'll have multiple blisters on both hands in a few minutes.

Definitely get blisters on the sides of my thumbs playing a long set on drums! I don't know why I seem to be the only person that gets blisters so frequently. Obviously these are blisters on top of blisters/callouses.
