An everlasting problem

I don't know. I have a good friend who has very small hands for a guy and he plays a 6 string bass like nothing I ever seen. Stringed instruments are weird as your hands have to go through an actual physiological process of adapting to playing the instrument. Callusses develope, ligaments and tendons stretch, muscles in your fingers hand and forearm strengthen. I would give it some time and see what comes of it.
