Maybe so. If the Top and/or the Back swells just slightly, the Post becomes shorter in relation and will not be as optimum. Many basses use winter and summer posts and bridges in parts of the world. We use bridge adjusters here and complain the rest of the time about the feel. Take it to a good bass Luthier and have your bass adjusted. See him again before the winter as well.
