Don't let this happen to you...clean your strings!

Sure, it makes sliding much easier, but it will negatively effect your tone!

It's worn Elixir nanoweb coating, no?

[Supernaut]

Fake news. 

[EssentialTension]

Wash your hands.

Yes, if you do a reverse image search, it goes to a japanese page about elixir strings.

[dclaassen]

Funny, my nanowebs don't look like that...did someone sneeze on them?

There's that word "clean" again.

 

I'm really not understanding a lot of these threads.

There’s a few closeup’s here

We all need to eat a peck of dirt before we die.

I’m so glad I stopped licking my strings… filthy habit.

[Doctor J]

There was someone on the forum here who posted a pic of their Ibanez many years ago. It had really old Elixir strings on it and the coating had degraded to such an extent that it looked like they were coated in white fur and were ready to go and live in the forest 😂

Boil your strings but don't use the water to make tea afterwards.

[Jason Karloff]

Probably preferable to all those fruit teas. 

[dclaassen]

I have never actually boiled strings. Maybe I don't have that much oil on my skin or something, but strings seem to last forever for me....

I'm more Ted Lasso about most tea.....

[Jason Karloff]

Aww a modern reference? Err. Ted Lasso? He didn't invent the lasso right? And Mr Bolas invented the Bolas in South America? 🤔😝

[dclaassen]

Nope...just feel like him...random American stumbling through and learning how to love the UK...

I tried boiling string once. It took ages, left a stain on the pot I used and one of the strings broke when I tried to fit it back on the bass. The rest sounded just as crap as before within a couple of days.

...loving the UK needn't be high on your priority list!

Honestly...I come from small-town, rural Nebraska and I really do love my little village...

I would be delighted to be as far away as possible from the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene 🤔

 

Welcome mate.

I've done tests to see whether these manky strings are good for metal and the results were very specific, they only worked for sludge metal
