Pick up the GK bag referenced above from RMC audio. Their prices on GK stuff are hard to beat, I have dealt with them on several occasions. I have had that particular bag for my 200mb combo for 20 years and its still going strong.

Have had several (four) Ingles stands for years, no problems, not even with the foam on the lower arms. Fits everything from my little 1/10 and 1/4 basses (wishful thinking for my 1 and 4 year olds!) to my 5/8 German and big ole Upton standard. My endpin only touches on the 5/8, regardless...
