On the bass with the pickguard partly missing you say its a gotoh bridge but it looks just like a Badass bridge.

It is possibly a BAII. BAII's and Gotoh's look very similar, and on the pictures I've seen of that bass I haven't been able to verify if its a BA or a Gotoh, so I put Gotoh.

I believe he's just bending the strings with a hint of the Marshall Guv'nor on.
