Preventing belt scratches

[WillyPop]

or jeans buttons/zipper or anything scratches...

I got a nice green burst ebmm BFR sterling and the back is black so it shows the scratches easily.

Is there some kind of trick to protect it without damaging the finish? ... beside playing in PJs or pant less!

I move my buckle to the side and remove the rivets from my jeans on the right side.

Wear your bass higher, above the belt buckle.

Same here. My belt buckle gets moved as far to the left as possible on the other side of the left front belt loop. Instead of removing rivets I hammer them flat. Seriously.

This works well. And is what I do. On most of my jeans you only need to hammer 2-3 rivets in total.

There is this option: Link Removed

I think they run around $20 at musiciansfriend and guitarcenter.

Thanks!

Don't tuck in your shirt!

Do what I do: remove your pants before strapping on your bass.

Yes, untucked shirts are the answer.

My question is, does anyone know how to prevent fraying in my shirts?

 

[CBNJ]

Why would you want to prevent it?

Why would you want to prevent it?

Maybe not everyone has something to prove with a scratched up bass.
