Adapting bass technique for severe double-jointedness?

[Fassa Albrecht]

I've often reported in the past of having huge problems with things like hammer-ons/pull-offs, overshooting the fretboard on the G string and other issues.

I've now been to the physio who reckons I'm severely double-jointed, and the ligaments in my hands are basically not doing their job. This makes doing anything which involves any dexterity (writing, playing sports, bass) difficult.

Sooo......I was wondering whether I could make any changes to technique or my bass' set-up to help me.

My bass already has low action and I tend to wear my bass high so I can see my fretboard and control my fingers a bit more.

Any help is appreciated.

I don't know if you can blame your "double jointedness" on your inability to master a particular technique, like a hammer on/pull off and overshooting the fret board. These seem like issues of coordination if anyting. IMO of course.
