Any Gigbag recommendations for Rick 4005XC?

Okay...

I'm THAT guy. I vastly prefer taking my basses to gigs in gigbags/soft cases, rather than the oversized rectangular monstrosities that accompany most of my basses in rotation.

I've got a Rick 4005XC on the way, and although the silver case is bitchin' and all that...I hate dragging those things around with a passion. Question for anybody here who has tried, but what gigbags or soft cases work for that model? I've pretty much committed to MONOcases/sleeves for most of my standard P/J giggers, but not sure that'll fit the bill for the body on this bird.

Let's hear it (and no, I don't want a debate between gigging with hard v. soft cases - I'm very experienced and have been doing this for decades, and know what I need)!
