Just picked up a '69 LP bass. If didn't come with a case. I've seen a few Triumph cases for sale, but they've all been beat to crap with broken/missing latches etc.

Are there any off-the-shelf cases that fit? Between the Gibson Midtown, Epiphone Casady, Warwick/Framus Star, Warwick Hellborg, and Gretsch hollow bodies I figure something should be a good match...right?

I'll discount one on your list - Warwick don't make or sell a case for their Warwick/Framus 5/150 reissue

Longshot... but you might check in with this seller on Ebay and see if he still has any NOS Hamer Monaco bass cases for sale. 

There were quite a few up last year.  I have one that came with a B4S bass, and it fits my Triumph perfectly as well.  Great case for the $$ (if he still has any)

(NOTE: that auction is for the guitar version, which probably won't fit)

The Epi Casady case is way too wide and tall.
The case for the Epi Rumblekat Allen Woody Sig would be a more likely fit.

I see original cases for these all the time on ebay, but not incredibly cheap (though considering the price of a new case,  still competitive).  That's how I got mine.

Other than that (and what others mentioned), the modern LP bass cases will fit (just a little longer than you need due to long vs short scale), as well as any generic square bass case - some of those might be available in shortie sizes.

Anyone tried a Gibson LP Baritone Guitar case?  Might be worth a shot.

Yep, I would try the Allen Woody case, should be a good fit.  Also, the new Memphis ES LP short scale bass case might do the trick as well.
