Musicians with huge hands

I have huge hands and actually started on guitar when I was around 10, and moved to bass because of it. Haven't looked back since.
I got big mits. 8 Inches from the bottom of my palm to my finger tips.(i just measured out of curiosity haha)
It's good for bass though because i can hammer-on from the third fret to the eighth fret without ever movin my hand.

Me too. But when I open my hand the length from the tip of my thumb to my pinky is 10 inches.
My father had big hands. The size of his pinky was about the same as my thumb.
