Bass humidifier

[Cygnus X-1]

Hey guys,

I just did a humidity check in my basement and it read 27%. I want to get a humidifier to bring up the level. Any thoughts on cold vs hot mist?

My downstairs is incredibly dry... It's finished but where the coal stove is located. Don't have a humidity meter. Not sure technically how dry it is.

My 2 basses and my wife's cello are there. This thought has crossed my mind too, especially for the cello. I'd be curious if anyone else chimes in on this...

Leave it out in the rain?

But really, I would go with cold humidifier. I've had "rain" problems with a warm one in a cool room (about 62-65 degrees).

Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. I actually went with a cold mist humidifier for a large room. My go to bass guy informed me that 27% was way too low and I should try to get it up to "at least" 44%. Well, after several hours I've noticed a difference in my American deluxe P bass. It was a bit buzzy on some of the higher frets. Even after setting it up. Hopefully this is the right solution.
