UB bags

So I've completed this bass based on a pattern fom Vincenzo Panormo who was building in London in the 1700's. I got this pattern from Peter Chandler's book. It's kind of big. Now I need a bag. It's a bit hard to find one that fits. My bass is a little shorter (overall length) than a 4/4, but as far as the body goes, it's pretty much a 4/4.
Sorry if this is a repeat, but I found no threads even remotely related to cases and bags for UB.
I am wondering if anyone has any idea where I should look, what I should do...
Based on Chandler's advice I got a bag (The Upton Bass Deluxe bag, which is really nice by the way) that was supposed to fit big 3/4 basses or small 7/8 basses. It didn't fit, too short, too narrow, too shallow. This bag fit nicely into my price range, but others do not.
I would like advice.
I would also like to open this thread up to any discussions, reviews, etc. of cases and bags since I couldn't find that elsewhere. We do, after all, need to protect our beloved instruments.

Thanks all.
Cheers.

Try searching for Mooradian, Bobelock, Messina and whatever brand separately.

You could also call Mooradian or Messina, give your dimensions and hopefully find a standard bag that will fit.
I love my Messina bag. Dunno your price range, but you have put a lot of work into the bass so I would recommend you spend what you need to spend to get the right bag.
Hope this helps you:
