Fender Starcaster Bass - Case/Gig Bag?

Hey Guys. I just picked up a Starcaster bass and it sounds killer... but I went through every case and gig big in my local shop and the bass was too big for all of them. I've read online that Fender made a gig bag for it at one point and Lakland had a semi-hollow case that it fits in, but both have been discontinued since then. Does anyone know of any current production cases or gig bags that this bass will fit in? Also, if it's a gig bag, do you also happen to know if this bass with a bag would fit inside a SKB 1SKB-44RW ATA Roto Electric Bass Case so that it could have some extra protection?

I bought a Roadrunner gig bag from GC when I purchased my Starcaster new in 2014. I have no idea what model it is but it fits beautifully.

This subject has been discussed before, so I’d search to find out what others have done. I seem to recall others may have found that the Epiphone Jack Casady case worked for them.
