Underwater Bass

Well, it would certainly negate the need for a deep chorus effect... 
The most important question, though, is what song would you play?
("Under The Sea" from The Little Mermaid? Nah, too hokey.)

Octopus's Garden I would think.

Ack, totally missed that second one!
I hate being late to the witty response party.
Also, it's worth noting that one of the reasons that John Cale was kicked out of The Velvet Underground was for wanting to do this. Careful what you ask your bandmates.
If anyone could find that Swedish band's vids of underwater playing, I would be quite impressed. I didn't think it would actually be possible... though, I suppose where there's a will there's a way.
And yeah, I don't really want to shock myself. Maybe an acoustic underwater jam?

Kinda like what Skwisgaar had to do in the episode of metalocalypse in order to record his guitar part without the buzz! That would be fun but I would probably **** myself.
Hi.
The first thing to come to my mind also.
Since the density of water is far greater than the density of air, and the fluidity is the opposite way around, the pitch will be off.
To determine empirically by how much, why not build a dummy. Math is for geeks
.
A piece of something with an anchor for the string and one machine head. A half of a P-pickup shouldn't be hard to come by either.
Since this is a test only, water proofing isn't that essential in this case. Unless You're using un-earthed electrical system. In that case I suggest that You don't try this.
Regards
Sam
