Hairy Strings

Just out of interest, would/could these be Elixirs?

The bass is a 10 year + old Ibanez SRX 390 (that had never been played before I bought it).  According to the catalogue, Elixirs were not fitted to this model (this model was supposed to have D'Addarios), but Elixirs were fitted to the higher end basses.

I have never seen D'Addarios peel like this...  No silks and plain old brass coloured ends to the strings.

Any ideas, oh wise Basschat?

I'm guessing it was the age of the stings that caused it, and not my highly acidic (alkaline?) sweat?

 

The older poly web elixirs used to do this if you looked at them funny. I wouldn’t panic.
