Good replacement gigbag for Thumb 5?

What's Hot

The Rockcase gigbag that came with my Warwick is now over 20 years old and is starting to fall apart, so I'm looking at replacing it. 

I don't want a hardcase as it won't fit in the boot of my car, so I'm looking for a nice gigbag. 

I could get another Rockcase but to be honest the quality isn't fantastic and I'm keen to try something different. 

Mono seem to do excellent gigbags but they're very pricey. I don't need the last word in protection (the bass travels in the boot of my car and then lives on a Hercules stand the rest of the time), so the Vertigo at £240 seems a bit steep. 
The Sleeve looks to offer a similar level of protection to the Warwick gigbag at about £140-150, and looks smart in the range of colours. 

Anyone tried these or is there something else I should be looking at?

    The TGI Extreme cases are very good and very reasonably priced. You'd want to check a thumb would fit, though.

    I used to use Ritter for my basses - The double ones were great.

    I have a Mono Vertigo for my Les Paul and a Sleeve for my Precision. I don't think that you can go wrong with either.

    Update, it arrived today and I'm very impressed. Protection and quality is much better than the old Warwick gigbag, the storage pocket is bigger, and the boot and neck pad are both great ideas and well implemented. 

    In the end my wife was looking for an anniversary present for me so I didn't even need to feel bad about spending the money on myself, so happy all round
