Fantastic bags those Pro Bags!
I got one a few years ago, was a very smooth and easy process, even with shipping over to the UK. I was lucky that my bass fitted in the standard design, but I really like the newer design, nice colour choice too

That's part of why I've been considering headless. I have to really hunch over with my Ritter bags and I'm 5'6".
Does that company sell a double bag?
I'll probably still want to go headless with my next CB since something guitar sized would allow me to haul my Rob Allen Mouse 30 and a headless bass in the same double gig bag.
I've got one of these for my 33" basses, had it for a good few years now and it still looks great. Thick leather just looks better with wear, all stitching, zips and straps have survived a good amount of use too, still all solid as a rock!
They do indeed make double bags, here's their site >> http://www.probag-net.com
I thoroughly recommend these guys. Looking for an excuse to buy another one

Did you order a bag made for 33 scale?
I was lucky, as my custom 33" at the time fitted just nicely in one of their standard shapes, so I didn't need to go "custom".
That bass has since gone, and been replaced with another 4 custom 33" basses, all of which have fitted nicely too.
They do a few standard bag shapes to accommodate various standard bass shapes. I don't think a regular Jazz Bass would fit in my bag, probably a little neat, but there's a couple others that would be just fine.
I can try and get some pics if you're interested.

P/MM Nordy pickups and pre, Bass Mutes, Ball shape, two tone amboyna burl top, some chambering to lighten it a tad, fretless with a stabilized bubinga fingerboard, radiuses top for the MM pickup, TI Jazz Flats, 34 or 35" scale, which is probably something I need to decide soon-ish.
Nice spec, how many strings though?...
6. Really not using that 7th string all that much and there aren't many options for flats or tapes. The 7 string can be a little cumbersome at times.
I hear ya.
I'm currently battling between going for a 6 string headless and a more classically styled 5 string headed at the moment.
Tough decisions...
I'm definitely going to order a headless so I can fit it into a guitar bag with my Rob Allen Mouse 30 since there aren't any guitar+bass gig bags that I'm aware of.
LOL, that pro bagg seems to have solved my biggest gripe. I'll have to look at ordering one soon.

Here something for the prog/Dream Theater fans. Just found this vid. From a gig last year. There is a bar in town that does a "classic albums" series. This was from Prog Night. We did the entire Dream Theater "Awake" album from start to finish. It was intense
