    Same here, specifically the Gatemouth Longboy, from BucketBoss.  It 
will hold my bass bone mutes (JoRal bucket, cup and straight), plunger, 
plus stand light inside.  My trombone stand will strap on the outside, 
where you'd usually attach a level.  Pockets, galore.  Get 'em at Sears, 
Lowes, etc.
