I'm sitting here looking at TB instead of playing my bass b/c I just finished washing my hair. It will take 2 or 3 hours to dry. Can I safely play bass during that time? I have a friend who got electrocuted simply by steping on an electrical cord in bare feet. I don't want to take a chance that something similar will happen to me because of my wet head. (NO, I dont step on the cord!) This might be a silly question but who else can I ask?

I also doubt that your head would make contact with anything electronic bass-wise as it is simply not in contact with the bass in normal playing. Feet however are much more vunerable and also inconstant contact with the floor.
So you can play bass!

I hope they don't get a nasty shock - but if they stand on the wires I can't help it...

"Yeth?"
