is THIS possible?

a few days back i pick my bass and notice yet another chip on my bass. now the bass had been resting the stand as i left it and this is the second time this has happened. and yes no one at home messes in this room or dares to touch my stuff so i have this ruled out that someone just knocked my bass around.

i noticed the first ding almost an year back, ~ a month after i had bought it. and this new one is again turns up during the extreme summer time. someone told me this could be due to the heat - he said the finish can mess up owing to a lot of heat. is that possible??

here you can have a look; this is the older ding



and the new one



i zoom in



so can this happen due to heat and humidity or changes in temperature and humidity levels?

EDIT: this is a squier affinity jazz bass

 

no crack or whatsoever to the wood its just the finish

 

yeah its the squier affinity series j bass. but i love it anyway its the best i could affrod

 

nothing like that. the bass stays at home mostly, when am practicing i always bring it back but anyway these SURE happened while the bass was at home; i practiced my lesson one night and see this the next day

 

so like matt_w says is it normal with cheap basses? or is it because of the heat

 

yeah ghost idea makes me feel good! i dont know why though

am clueless here

very unlikely but possible no one could be playing but someone might have tripped or something but if that happens they do let me know if i ask

 

thats exactly what i thought of first! its like a hole in the finish quite strange.

 

this reminds me of the singer/guitarist i was playing with earlier. after each practice he would disconnect everyone's rig and close his lyrics note books and would tell he fears that ghosts would come and rock with his words and our gear heh
anyway i like your idea i would share it with my bass so thy ghost knows about it.

am wondering if its Jaco's ghost playing my bass and trying to make this bass look his j bass . not a bad idea though

lol ok enough of this!

 

yeah man am pretty cool with the dings was just being curious you know

 

i have a younger brother but he is grown up enough and anyway he never likes playing bass or guitar he likes playing keyboards a slight bit but no he doesnt mess with my stuff especially when he knows its taken me years to save up for this

 

anyway any more ideas?
