In the pocket n' thumpy. So woody, so greasy...
Imagine if treble hooks grew in the sea and were caught by casting fish into the water tied by their tail? Mmmmmm...a nice tasty deep fried treble hook....
During prohibition a Speak Easy needed to be careful about police raids, and would only allowed eight stools at the bar which could quickly be moved and so the bar easily disguised. This is how the phrase "8 to the bar" originated.
I hate to drag out an old post for correction, but truth is that well-trained beavers are rubbed against the finish for that "vintaged" look.
There is absolutely no gnawing.
I do have pictures, but cannot post them on this site. I can tell you it is something to behold.
A treble hook is that memorable riff played three times in a row. It is also that piece of wire twisted to look like an old fashion G to hold the riff on the music sheet. The piece of wire has been superceded by post-it-notes. which when found on music written for bass instruments has been been called post-it: three barb bass hook, but still is referred by many as a treble hook.
12 bar blues also occur, when in the 13th bar, your debit card is refused, because its overdrawn.
24 bar blues, usually results a referral by, the HR department to AA meetings, and a 28 day visit to a rehabilitation center where my terrible group gigs three out of five days.

No, 12 bar blues originated from imprisoned musicians. They were composing from behind 12 iron bars.

"FERMATA" is a term borrowed from the Tofu industry, and refers to playing something in a stiff, brusque manner as opposed to playing something disinvolto.
The term "DISINVOLTO" was derived from the lack of electricity available to musicians, and thus they couldn't hear themselves and each other well enough without monitors 'causing them to play loose and freely, which became a style unto itself — hence the term being written into the lexicon of music and used whenever composers want that old-timey feel.
No matter how much shielding you have in your bass, you will hear Jingle Bells coming through when you play in a room with a Christmas Tree.
No doubt you've paid your debt to society for these crimes..
