Replace the saddles with vintage-style ones that have threads on the barrel like this:

Is the G string 'falling off the neck'? Too close to the fingerboard edge? If this is the case, the issue is probably the alignment of neck to body. Slacken the strings, loosen the neck bolts (screws) slightly and then (boldly) tap the headstock towards the top horn (towards left of bass looking from front). Tighten the neck bolts and re-tune. Should be good to go.

It's not falling off the neck, I know what you mean though because I had on old Telecaster with that very problem. It's not a nightmare, barely even a nuisance. I'm just being über-fussy and would've liked to have moved it a hair.
