HELP MY HANDS ARE TOO SMALL!!

Oh, and for a serious answer, Victor Wooten stands about five foot nutn. His hands are tiny. He plays electric 4, 5, and 6 string basses. He plays upright and cello.

So just keep practicing. Unless you habe hands that are so small that people across the room notice, you'll be fine.

Also, the Rolling Stones’ Bill Wyman was a small guy, and ended up playing a Framus Star Bass; while it’s a sizable hollow body, the neck is very thin. Then he worked with Vox to design his teardrop signature model, and those necks are like pencils(both were short scale). I’ve got a Phantom brand recreation of the BW; the shorty neck seems thinner than a Jazz Bass. The Phantoms are hard to find, the Framus probably not to your taste and too expensive as a vintage piece, but I’d look at some of the SX(Rondo)short scale basses.
