I played that bass at my very first high school jazz combo concert. They turned off all the lights and we were supposed to play during this sideshow at an awards banquet. We couldn't see our music so they brought out FREAKING CANDELABRAS out so we could read by CANDLELIGHT. I couldn't read the notes, but I was JAMMING. The music director turned off my amp and got me some water.

Maybe you thought you were jamming... Reminds me of a drummer who assured me he could play fine while tripping
