Can you help me find a hard case?

I recently came on an un-pass-upable deal on a Gibson Les Paul Money Bass (Guitar of the week, week 7 2007), to accompany my week 1 SG Supreme bass. Only downside was that it had no case(!). I really would like a hard case for it, since I WILL be gigging it and, besides, I just like the idea. Gibson USA was no help, and my Fender cases swallow it up. It's a little thing, only 12.75" across the lower bout, 9.5 inches across the upper. Body is 17" long, and overall length is about 45". Since it's a double cut, don't know if it's the same as an LP bass. Any ideas where I might find a case?
Thanks, Jim

I'm finding that sourcing a hard case is not easy. I've googled all the terms I can think of... Got a suggestion yesterday to use an ESP viper case, but can't find dimensions on any of the sites that sell. I thought perhaps an Epi Les Paul bass case might work, but they look form-fitting in the photos on line and the Epi is not an offset body like the double-cut LP Money is. Anybody got any ideas? I've tried to make peace with the esthetics of a coffin case, but so far, can't seem to do it. I love the case on my SG Supreme bass, fits perfectly, has that nice Gibby fur on the inside..just wish I could find something like it for the LP Money. xjeremiahx, any luck?
Thanks,
Jim
