Is it possible to learn the bass if you have really small hands and fingers? Because my hands are quite tiny. I can play piano and guitar amply but everything about the bass is just fatter. They are strong and flexible, just small.
Thoughts, opinions? Apologies for the copious amount of questions.

(Unless a person is 6'5" everyone is kinda small to play bass)
As far as having small hands it shouldn't matter too much when playing bass. because you can just switch positions (move around on the fretboard) to play one note to the next,
So if you want to play bass but are apprehensive because of small hands look for shorter scale bass. I have a Fender Musicmaster Bass (Vista Series). It's 30" short scale bass, a regular Fender bass is 34" long. Having a shorter scale bass make it so much more comfortable to play then a regular bass.
