Specific Gig Bag

I've searched and searched. And I give up.

Does anyone know of a gig bag backpack (two straps) that will hold a Pf800, cables, random stuff, AND a Hercules stand? I've seen plenty of laptop style padded bags and mixer bags with just the one strap, but there's no room for a stand. I'm thinking some cylindrical compartment with a bungee strap at the top to keep it in.

I'm making do with a target two compartment backpack. Amp goes in one compartment and cables, pedals, batteries, strings, tools, guitar stand, and junk go in the other. The only way, though, that I can keep the stand from flailing about is to loop it through the top carry handle and stuff it into the bag. That worked fine for two years until one strap broke the other day.

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe direct me to a thread I missed?
 
I use a 24" tool bag. Carries my pedalboard, rather large chrome guitar stand (broken down of course), a number of extension cords, guitar cables, extra strings and tools.
Also can stuff a large loose leaf binder and a PODxt when doing guitar gigs.
It weighs about 50 lbs when fully loaded.
It has a big old strap that goes over my head and onto the opposite shoulder, bag pushed to the rear. In this fashion it's worn like the shoulder/harness belt in a car.
With a 200 watt combo amp in one hand, and my bass/guitar hard case in the other I'm off to the races.
 
My favorite case
KACES KPFB-08
Holds bass, cables, tools, strings, ultimate stand, paper/markers/tape, batteries, and flashlight. Hands free polyshell case, put pf800 in one hand, and roll your dolly with other

+1 -- Sometimes good solutions are found outside the musical realm. I use a big LL Bean nylon duffel bag with a padded shoulder strap and someone else's initials (it's from an outlet store near me).
