I played mine going over Niagara Falls in a barrel once. The only hassle was the 700' instrument cable.
I actually played a song at a gig from the toilet.
Very low key pub gig and i just had to go. The toilet was right next to the stage.
Luckily i use a radio system.

Well it was a hot summer night .We both had too much to drink. The car broke down out on a lonley dark country road. the whole thing is still a little blurry . i remember her body-exotic, A headstock to die for ......strung with High Beams........... a night to remember for sure...... We played untill the sun came up.......
tried to play while on the toilet. foot kept falling asleep having pressure on top and below it. plus where the toilet is, the shower blocks the headstock a bit if i move around too much, so it want a good experience
Had a big jam with some guys once and overindulged. I sat on a milk crate with my back against the wall, playing my 4001 like an upright.
one time i found some incense in my room and pretended to "bless" it like ancient shamen.
needless to say, me and that bass don't talk anymore...

Had a few (to many) beers spray painted my bass white poured some red paint in an empty beer can and splattered it all over the bass, woke up the next mourning and thought it looked pretty cool so left it that way, it's nick name became the Bloody Bass
LOL, I've done that too, but only at band practice where nobody can see me
I once used my bass as a dinner table. We were practicing at my trumpet players house and stopped for a dinner break. When the pizza arrived, we stayed to eat in the living room where we were playing. He has a small coffee table, but with a 7-piece band space was limited. So I sat in a swiveling office chair, flipped my bass string-side-down on my lap, and put a paper towel across the back.
And let me tell you, the backside of a Fender Jazz Bass is the perfect size and flatness to eat off of. Didn't spill a drop.
Back when I was about 20 something,(45 now) I tried to see if I could hear a fart through the pups. Squatted (spelling) over the bass, (t-40) and let some rip. Sad to say, it did not work, but I did make the drummer sick...LOL.
Took apart my Yamaha RBX250 to see if I could install the split-coil pups somewhere else... inside the fretboard, in the horns, etc.... sounds best sound is in the headstock though.
