Hi , and thank you for your input

having read your replies i have gone back to the bass and spent some time trying to figure out where it may be uncomfortable.

having measured the bass it does seem to be a full "3/4" and actually seems fairly well suited (maybe a little big)to my proportions.

so i have narrowed down some things that may be causing my pain.

firstly the neck stop seems to be quite big and i have some difficulty getting around that area. i have attached a pic.

and then the overstand is about 21mm i think this causes me some problems in thumb position ? or i might just have a dodgy wrist.

i do use an amp and it helps alot.
