Why not keep a little rag or piece of cloth that you stuff into your pants and let hang over the buckle?

Strap the bass on higher than your belt, or just move the buckle to the side.

Just put your belt on with the buckle on your side, away from the bass. Good for working on cars, too.

why not just move the buckle round to the side when you're playing. That would save you some money.

Wear your bass higher. My buckles don't even touch my bass.

I look for leather belt buckles on Ebay, and wear them exclusively.
Works for me.

Wearing it on the side would work.

Or a web belt?
