Thanks! Is that the 'normal' sized bass gig bag or an electric guitar bag (I assume the former based on the position of the padding at the headstock end)?

Thanks for the input folks. I was tempted to go with the Harvest again and would have done if I had a Stanley Clarke or Brown Bass with a 'regular' cable. But the perfectly sized compartment for the Series 1 power supply unit swung the decision in favour of the GruvGear. I got the full sized bass bag but have tweaked the velcro foam pads so my bass doesn't move at all. Lets see how I get on

I measured my series 1  at 44" in total length. I also found this case. Affordable, may not be as super-protective as others and really doesn't have a compartment for the power supply. But measures 45" interior length.

hmmm...thats tempting.  I might take my S1 MS on the train in the coming months and will need a bag...looks like pretty thick padding on that.  How think is the padding on the front and back?

Greg, here is Goran's thread on a hardshell alternative for Series basses, that isn't gigantic. You might look into these as an option. MUCH safer than a bag. http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=24051.0

Greg, I have also Gruvgear gigbag, it's great.. you should try it a lot of padding.... and there is also a company that makes gigbags out of leather for short scale basses, check it here!
