Just like your ear, your fingers learn how to make the right note, they learn how to stretch. Practice makes perfect! Just keep at it, and your fingers will stretch. Trust me on this one. I've taught strings (violin, viola, cello, double bass, bass guitar, guitar, others) for 13 years now. My students always use the excuse "I can't hit that note! My fingers don't stretch!". Then after a few weeks or months of practicing they always say "Oh...I guess you were right. They do stretch."
