I had a 79 P-bass that we actually used a clip of a bassplayer talking right before the song started (which printed to the track through the pickup) in a song.
I saw a performance by K.K. Null, a Japanese noise artist, who really 'got into it' at one point by engaging in an extended bout of screaming full force into the pickups that translated through his effect chain and wall of amplifiers for a SERIOUS wave of white-noise din. I might add that he wasn't much quieter playing guitar 'normally' in his full band Zeni Geva.
