I had a blister on my index and middle fingers on my right hand. Last night at our show, the blister on the middle finger tore off and took some more skin with it. I didnt realize it till after the song. So i was playing on my last layer or skin. Its pretty gross. It hurt really bad once i got home and sat down finally. At the show it just kinda stung. But now....oh man. 
At least the gig went well.

That isn't me, but something similar happened some weeks ago while practicing rockabilly double bass slap technique with steel strings. Not that scandalous, but a generous amount of blood squirted out, anyway. |

Looks like it's a relatively small one (I've had much bigger), but it's in one of those nasty spots that you will hit all day long. Best I can say is it will get a little better every day for the next 4-5 days.

That's the best resource for all things slap DB and includes a forum about blisters, tape and pain, something very common in that technique, specially if you try to do it on steel strings, like me. |

The whole dropped pick in first song/keep strumming/ no flesh from the bottom of my fingernails to below my top knuckle thing always reminds me why I am a bassist. |

I got a bigger amp after a bloodfest like yours.
For some reason, everyone else got quieter after that. |
