Jazzmaster style Offset Gigbag/Case

Hi!
I recently joined the club of the offset owners and sold my tele. Now the problem is that (who would've thought that :whateva: ) the giant offset body doesn't fit the normal strat/tele gigbag.
I borrowed a bass gigbag from a friend, but it was way too long and I couldn't secure the neck.
Now my question is: What do you guys use for your Jazzmasters?
I found this:

But I wonder if there is a cheaper alternative..

Thanks!

i would pay the extra euros and buy a hard case. i think it's worth it in the long run, especially if it's an expensive guitar.

Well, it isn't an overly expensive guitar. And I certainly don't want to buy a case that costs more than the guitar itself :lol:
I just need it for a little bit of protection when going to school with it or something... maybe 5 times per month or so... so it doesn't have to be that sturdy.. just a little bit protection from rain, scratches and stuff like that.

Nothing seems to be cheaper and/or available here in austria. There has to be some cheap big gigbag that fits an offset body, damn it. I don't want to pay over 50€ for a case I would use maybe 5 times a year.

pretty weird that it doesnt fit
i mean if i can fit a rickenbacker into the cheapo softcases i have then a jazzy will

hardcase is a different story though...

Well, it's not a real jazzy. It's just an offset body and apparently it is too wide to fit a standard bag... because either the top horn or the butt where the output is sticks out.

Just wrap it in a blankie and close it with a binder clip

Did that the last two times... just looks so unprofessional...and kinda creepy... looks like you're carrying a kid's body. I have to go on a hunt for a cheap bag next week.

Not that expensive (half the price of the softcase) and more than big enough!
