some mold has appeared in my music room, any ideas how dangerous this might be for my basses? Keep em in the case instead of hanging on a nearby wall?

  What's the humidity in the room? It might be worth using a dehumidifier to keep it around 50% or so, which should keep the mould at bay (after cleaning it up with some foaming bleach spray).

  Something like this would do the trick: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ThermoPro-Thermometer-Hygrometer-Temperature-Humidity/dp/B07TV364MZ
  
  Humidity should be between 40-60% for normal use IIRC.
  It's an issue for double basses (https://www.stringemporium.com/upright-double-bass-humidity.htm) but I wouldn't think electrics would be affected too much (though if it changes you might need to adjust the truss rod).
  
  I was getting a mould problem in one room of my house and started running one of these in it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B082VDS3YH
  
  That, plus some foaming mould spray from a local shop has sorted it out.
