Seeing that you’ve made progress at learning something is the best feeling ever. 😍
I bought that smaller bass guitar a while back. My hands are not that huge, so I had some trouble on a much larger long-scale bass (i.e., a “normal” bass). I just couldn’t stretch my left hand wide enough and my pinky finger was very weak.
That short-scale bass indeed allowed me to practice more easily. I stopped worrying about “small hands” or “weak fingers”, and just focused on practicing *finger control*. And now I’m starting to see the results. 😊
Even more so, I’m way more comfortable on my large bass as well. All those stretches aren’t that much of a problem anymore. The funny thing is, I ever intentionally practiced stretching – I just practiced moving my fingers in a relaxed and neutral position. And now that my brain is starting to learn how to do this stuff, stretching isn’t that big of a deal anymore, either.
As for “weak fingers” … this was an eye-opener: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_RdSSQeqU0&t=115s Yup, there is more than enough strength. I need to learn how to *use* it, though.

@movq Absolutely, realizing one's own progress is very crucial. The mind boggles when seeing even tiny steps being made. You can trigger big motivation loops.
