I'm considering a soft gig bag for my Holton Bb bass trumpet. Does anyone have any practical ideas?
Closest size and shape I could find was for alto sax.

You might try looking at some of the "tactical yoga bags" on the market.

Re: Gig bag for bass trumpet
If it has comparable dimensions to the Conn bass trumpet, the Cronkhite alto trombone Gigbag (obviously without the slide compartment) could be a good, but somewhat expensive option.

Back when Hornguys used to sell Lidl rotary valve bass trumpets, they came with a Cronkhite gig bag.MStarke wrote: Tue Aug 19, 2025 1:27 pm If it has comparable dimensions to the Conn bass trumpet, the Cronkhite alto trombone Gigbag (obviously without the slide compartment) could be a good, but somewhat expensive option.

I would strongly suggest taking measurements. My B&M piston valve bass trumpet didn't come anywhere near fitting in the Cronkhite bag for the Lidl.AtomicClock wrote: Tue Aug 19, 2025 1:48 pmI have one of these and can take measurements, if you want.JohnL wrote: Tue Aug 19, 2025 1:42 pm Back when Hornguys used to sell Lidl rotary valve bass trumpets, they came with a Cronkhite gig bag.
