Humidifiers

[Joshua Phelps]

Oh also the right humidity is key for everything (even electronics, alot of computer manufactures assembling factories in dry locations even use them). 50% keeps everything nice & happy but there is a thin line between proper humidity & the air being so moist the it leaves condensation on things which turns to rust on things such as pickup magnets.

You're right, I forgot about rusting of the pickups. Then I would also have to make sure that room stays around 70 degrees at all time.

Unless its sub 40% & cold in there I wouldn't worry about it.

If I feel cold or warm or dry or humid, so does my bass. Keep your air healthy and comfortable for you and your family and the bass will be fine.

A 2-tank humidifier with thermostat set at 45% is fine. In the warmer months use a De-humidifer when it goes over 50%.

Empty it weekly at the least or when it is full. Leave the Humidifier on as well on Auto because it can get dry at anytime. Just keep the water in there fresh and if possible, pour a cap of lemon scented bleach in each tank to avoid mold or mildew. Check your filters often and buy the replacement filters in advance.

If you can find a unit that works both ways, try it. But maintain the water to stay clean as well as the filters. Blowing moldy water in the air will only make thinks worse for you and your family.

Once you get used to it, it's like watering the plants. Light maintenance.
