That's strange about the finish softening. Usually it's hard as a rock and impervious to everything. The factory finish is not nitro lacquer.
Colours do change hue over time with exposure to light and oxygen.
Has that bass perhaps been refinished using some oil based paint? That would account partly for blue changing to green and softening in the case if it wasn't the right stuff.
