I hate to say it but it looks like normal wear and tear to me. The second and third pics are obvious dents in the wood where the bass has bumped something.
The first pic appears to be damage from some kind of hit/drop and finish cracked as a result.
Not sure of the wood but if it is a softer wood like basswood it can dent easily.
I hope I'm not looking at your pics wrong but that's the conclusion I come to.

The body is alder (Spline Joint which im not sure what that means?) the first pic i literally just discovered 10 mins ago. i dunno if you can see it clearly in pic 1 but the crack has like a water ripple effect around it?
Might be worth filling in the deep chip in your finish on the first pic to slow the damage. Making it nice and flush should stop anything catching on the raised edge and pulling it away.
I've used CLEAR nail polish with great success, the stuff that sets like concrete. The damage is still visible but I can live with it.
Im sure someone more knowledgeable could recommend an alternative solution.

CA glue, let it set properly and cut level with a razor after an hour or three
