Short Scale cases and gig bag recommendations ?

I have several Sterling short scale stingray’s and I’m on the hunt for inexpensive gig bags or cases.
Most guitar cases or bags I’ve checked are too short and obviously standard bass cases or bags are too long.
I don’t need anything expensive or heavy duty as I’m very careful when taking my bass’s to local gigs.
My SBMM bass’s are 42” long.
Suggestions for inexpensive bags or cases would be very much appreciated.
Cheers, Davyo

Rondo Music was selling cases for the SX Ursa short scale.
I have one and they’re decent. Might want to check and see if they still have them.

I managed to find a Gator case at Sweetwater,reasonable priced, and my SBMM short scale fits like a glove,no movement at all. It is made for the Fender Stratocaster guitar.

the Levy's B200 Guitar bag is the least expensive one worth having that I've found that fits. About $100. I have one for my SBMM Short Scale and am happy with it.

The Gator Transit, Pro-Go, and Icon all fit but cost more. I think the Mono's fit too but cost more yet. My EBMM Short Scale lives in a Gator Pro-Go
