I'm not certain. I only had customers who wanted to use the violin bass. Sorry.
It is not cold when the temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, it is widely accepted as the standard and recommended indoor temperature. It's the humidity, not the temperature, that counts, as others have pointed out, even though relative humidity decreases as temperature decreases. If the relative humidity in your home is extremely low, you should seriously consider investing in a whole-house humidifier. When you can't keep a normal (45-degree) humidity level in your guitar, however, humidifiers are used. 55% RH) where do you keep your guitar If the temperature in your storage area (or your entire home) is 45 degrees, You do not need a guitar humidifier if the RH is 55%.
My bass dampit measures approximately 13 1/2 inches in length.
It's extremely useful for a bass when it's not in its case - There's no need for a case because it stays in the bass while it's on a stand. It reduces humidity, which is particularly beneficial in the winter. Just make sure you re-read it. wet it on a regular basis

It is very practical. It helps to keep cracks from forming. This year, I discovered an open seam in my double bass and had to use hide glue to close it. This made me realize that my instrument needed to be humidified. Because I live in a dry desert mountain state, I need something to keep the cracks at bay. The Dampit is a great product, but it's a little pricey. Before putting it in your bass, make sure you squeeze out all of the water to avoid drips. I wanted to get at least two of these for my bass because one will quickly dry out. In my bass case with the lid closed, it takes about 2 days for this to be as dry as a bone. Instead of buying multiple dampits, I made my own with a kitchen sponge and a ziplock bag. However, I must say that the Dampit is more user-friendly than the ziplock/sponge version. Oh, and I'm not sure if it's just me, but I swear my bass now sounds better since I humidified it. My bass could have been parched and thirsty. With a little water in the wood fibers, it sings better.
They're essentially just a sponge inside a perforated soft piece of tubing, and I think they're a good product, but they're a little pricey.
The problem with the sponge is that it tries to make the air around it 100% humidity until the sponge is dry and then it does nothing. Wooden instruments benefit from products that only release moisture when the air humidity falls below a certain level. As a result, I use the Dampits because I don't know of any other product for an upright bass that does this. br>br>I strongly advise you to purchase them (one for each F-). Despite the fact that I believe they are overpriced (ideally, in a hole), I believe they are overpriced. In addition. br>br> After soaking them, make sure they are completely dry before inserting them into your instrument. Water dripping from instruments shortly after they were refilled has caused them to be damaged.
They're simple to work with. Simply soak them in water and squeeze them out to prevent them from dripping. Then, after drying the surface, place them in the F-shaped notch in the F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F-shaped F- hole. I haven't used them long enough to notice a difference, but I'm willing to give them a chance because the science behind them is sound. For each bass, I use two.
This is a genuine "Dampit" brand humidifier, as opposed to one I recently purchased from another well-known vendor of violin family instrument equipment. It performs admirably. To keep the rubber washer from falling inside the instrument, it must be installed on the end, but the washer is large enough to fit in either end of the "f" hole. However, it should be placed at the very top. br> If you don't use distilled or at least demineralized water, minerals will build up in the sponge-like interior of the humidifier, making it less effective over time; also, don't let the humidifier drip inside your instrument, as this can cause damage. I soak it, let it drain, and then wipe it down before inserting it into the "f" hole.
The Dampit comes highly recommended by Upton. I'll believe them if they say so. The Dampit brand was ordered and received. There are no issues with using a different humidifier. I received exactly what I had requested. LISTEN: br>br> Before you put it in your bass (or any other stringed instrument for that matter), give it a try. Determine how much water will leak out of the humidifier if it is not properly wrung out. I put it to the test and was surprised when it began to drip after only a few minutes. It was my fault for not wringing it out thoroughly enough. See what happens if your humidifier leaks into the bass in this Upton YouTube video.
For decades, I've been using these. Always keep a guitar with you in the winter, it's simple and effective.
Place a small hook inside the body so it can dangle freely.
The cost is extremely reasonable.
