I heard that Deans have slimmer necks, but I have short fingers-only about 7.5 cm (2.95 in)
My hand is about 15 cm (middle finger to wrist) (5.91 in)
Would i be better off with buying

Best I ever found was a Fender Jazz or Mustang bass.
NOT the Bassman but the JAZZ bass.
Like the Bassman it's a club. You can drive railroad spikes in with it. But it's smaller and lighter.
ALSO, Honer, once upon a time, made a stick bass with the Steinburgen tail piece. A real Steinburgen.
I've got one and it's easy to play, small and very rugged.
The primary difference it the Honer is wood and the true Steinburgen was Graphite and very expensive.

Peavey also makes some good basses. And the Fender Squire bass is smaller sized. Go to a store and try some out. Also, you don't have to play a small scale bass, no matter what size your hands. Plenty of bands have small women playing full sized Fender Jazz or Perscision basses. Check it out!
