Moving Out?

You should have seen the looks I got carrying my Steinberger in a the gigbag when the Sniper was going off in DC. In case you didn't know, the Steinberger bag looks similar to a rifle bag. Got rid of the bass, soon thereafter.
 
Hey Jive, I get that all the time now. I picked up a steinberger last November and of course it came in the gigbag.

A few times now people have asked if it was a gun, so I go to the music shop and ask about a hard case for it..... The guy suggests I go to a gunshop and look at gun cases.....

That's would be just asking for it huh? I really don't need the police performing a high risk takedown on me because someone mistook my bass for a gun.
