I assume I am not the only one performing in humid places, what do you guys do in such a situation? what can I do to reduce the stickyness (I start the gig with my hands perfectly clean and the bass sits in the case all the time except sound check and the show itself)?
I hope there is SOMETHING I can do  . Just starting to hate these shows (even though I still enjoy them, it's just that I am a little below my best). |
Keep plenty of fresh, clean and dry cotton towels withing reach!
