I recall trying my friend's BC Rich bass (which was huge) for the first time- it was ridiculous and I could barely reach the 2nd fret. This was way before I played guitar and doing finger stretches for them.

Azusa does not lie, those stretches do wonders. The spider walk technique isn't just for people with large hands- if you need to, jump your hand between strings. There are also many alternatives to playing a note, so if need be you could slide to the same note on a lower string.
