I know this may be a really weird question, but for all bass and lead players you will know what I mean. Smile (Especially if your an avid player) How long did it take you to form the caluses on your hands....mine are starting right now...it hurts so freakin bad to type..... Laughing Wall

i play guitar and it took me well, i dunno, my callouses come and go (i've got super fast healing hands, i'm not even joking). with playing bass, i get them really fast (on both hands too). bass is pretty harsh on the fingers, but the callouses are good (don't peel them like my friend did, it's more painful without them)

I don't know because I started out as a string bass player in my school's orchestra then got a bass guitar the year after that. But it took about 2 1/2 months to form caluses on my fingers from playing the string bass.

i dunno, i remember playing the hell out of it, my fingers getting red raw, then getting blisters, which popped and turned into callouses and they've been there ever since
